1957 Map of Berthoud Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Arapaho National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape, where the Continental Divide winds between the headwaters of the Fraser River and the West Fork Clear Creek. The late 1950s survey captures a transition in mountain utility, documented by the heavy engineering of the August P Gumlick Tunnel (Jones Pass Tunnel) and the Vasquez Tunnel, alongside the burgeoning recreation industry at the Ski Area near Berthoud Pass. Local landmarks like the First Creek Ski Cabin and Spruce Lodge sit at the edge of primitive routes like the St Louis Trail and Mary Jane Ski Trail. Evidence of the region’s industrial history is found at the Urad Mine and its associated Tailings near Red Mountain, illustrating the dual identity of these peaks as both a resource extraction site and a winter sports destination.
