1955 Map of Buffalo Pass

About this map

The Continental Divide bisects this high-elevation landscape, forming the boundary between Jackson and Routt counties. The 1955 survey highlights the remote character of the Park Range as it appeared shortly after the war, showing a network of high-country routes including the Wyoming Trail and several unmaintained pack trails. These paths connect significant alpine basins and landmarks such as Horse Thief Park and Newcomb Park, while the Summit Lake Guard Sta marks a key human outpost in the backcountry.
