1971 Map of Wolf Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Wolf Mountain and Slippery Sides Mountain anchor this landscape in northwestern Colorado, where the terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches and creeks. By the early 1970s, the area remained a center for resource extraction, evidenced by the Franz Mine in the north and the Grey Mine near the center of the sheet. Numerous Drill Hole and unnamed Mines labels suggest active exploration and development during this period. The drainage patterns are intricate, with Tow Creek, Cheney Creek, and Salt Creek cutting deep through the mountain flanks. Isolated development is indicated by Jeep Trail access routes and specific landmarks like Rattlesnake Butte, which provided navigational points for locals and surveyors alike. The presence of Farnsworth Spring and other named water sources highlights the importance of water management in this high-elevation environment.
