1957 Map of Byers Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Continental Divide crests across this 1957 survey of the high Rockies, defining the boundary between Grand and Clear Creek counties. The landscape is dominated by massive peaks, including Byers Peak, St Louis Peak, and Mt Nystrom, with alpine drainage systems flowing into the South Fork Williams Fork and St Louis Creek. Industrial and engineering efforts are visible in the high-altitude terrain, most notably the Jones Pass Tunnel and an extensive Aqueduct system designed to manage water resources across the divide. The presence of the Bobtail Mine near Bobtail Creek reflects the era's mining activity, while established paths like the Byers Peak Trail indicate the area's use for backcountry access within the Arapaho National Forest.
