1957 Map of Bowen Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through the high peaks of the Never Summer Mountains in this late 1950s survey of the Colorado backcountry. Straddling the borders of Routt National Forest, Rocky Mountain National Park, and Arapaho National Forest, the landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes and alpine basins. The presence of the Wolverine Mine near Bowen Mountain and the Wolverine Trail points to a history of high-altitude extraction, while numerous glacial lakes like Ruby Lake and Bowen Lake feed the headwaters of the Illinois River and Willow Creek.
