1955 Map of Buffalo Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Continental Divide serves as the primary spine of this 1955 survey, marking the boundary between the Jackson and Routt county lines. Within the Routt National Forest, the landscape is defined by high-altitude peaks and a dense network of glacial lakes including Summit Lake, Lake Dinosaur, and Round Mountain Lake. The central crossing at Buffalo Pass is a focal point for backcountry travel, where the Wyoming Trail and Newcomb Trail converge. Historical indicators of forest management and early recreation are visible through features like the Summit Lake Guard Station. The drainage patterns are clearly delineated, with Soda Creek and Fish Creek flowing westward from the divide, while Newcomb Creek and Whalen Creek trend toward the eastern slopes, illustrating the hydrological significance of the Park Range.
