1957 Map of Byers Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Arapaho National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the Continental Divide, where the border of Grand and Clear Creek counties follows the crest of the Rockies. The map documents significant mid-century water engineering and resource extraction, notably the August P Gumlick (Jones Pass) Tunnel and the St Louis Aqueduct system. These features illustrate the complex efforts to divert water across the divide. Higher elevations are marked by prominent summits like Byers Peak and Bills Peak, while the industrial history of the region is anchored by the St Louis Mine and Bobtail Mine. Ancient routes and early recreational paths are captured through the Byers Peak Trail and St Louis Trail, which navigate the headwaters of the South Fork Williams Fork and St Louis Creek.
