The struggle over the ownership of Sawpit continued for almost 105 years. Baker reached Sawpit Bluff on May 12. A sawpit was found in the outer courtyard. It is located above the sawpit dam off of Monrovia Canyon Park. The name Sawpit was used for the first time in 1732. A sawpit existed in the early 20th century in Chale Green. Sawpit Creek has a major campground with facilities for caravans and cabins available for rent. The Telluride Post Office (ZIP Code 81435) serves Sawpit.
