I'm old, slow and fat. Unfortunately, those are my good qualities.

How old is that map? Couldn’t find a Reed’s Peak in the Uintahs. There’s Reid’s Peak checking in at 11,708’.

It’s from the 1800s.

Looks more fun than the Crestone traverse

Reeds and Reids look to be the same, judging from searching on that map's rivers. Here's a century-plus old topo that also shows Reids with a similar elevation. Several mountains in the area are a good 500-600' higher.

I'm not sure the Feds ever used commas in elevations on topo maps.

The river flowing northwest is the Weber, which I presume is pronounced WEE-ber.

Does that map also show the location of the Lost Rhoades Mine?
