1955 Map of Buffalo Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1956

About this map

The Continental Divide crests along the Park Range in this mid-century topographic study of the border between Jackson and Routt Counties. This high-altitude landscape within the Routt National Forest is defined by its complex hydrology and primitive transit routes. Several notable alpine basins and parks, such as Horse Thief Park and Newcomb Park, are mapped alongside a high density of glacial lakes, including Lake Dinosaur, Jonah Lake, and Whale Lake. The map details the remote infrastructure of the era, specifically the Summit Lake Guard Sta located near Buffalo Pass. Movement through these peaks was largely restricted to established footpaths like the Wyoming Trail and Newcomb Trail, which navigate the steep drainage divides of South Fork Mad Creek and Fish Creek.
