1955 Map of Buffalo Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

Buffalo Pass serves as the central crossing point along the Continental Divide in this mid-century survey of the high country between Jackson and Routt counties. The landscape is defined by the sharp ridgeline of the Park Range, where high-altitude water bodies like Summit Lake, Lake Dinosaur, and Martha Lake are clustered. Settlement is absent in this portion of the Routt National Forest, with human presence indicated primarily by the Summit Lake Guard Sta and a network of rudimentary transportation routes including the Wyoming Trail, several pack trails, and a Jeep Trail. To the north, the terrain transitions into named basins such as Horse Thief Park and Newcomb Park, while prominent peaks like Horse Thief Peak and Buffalo Mountain anchor the topography of the Missouri River Basin development area.
