1960 Map of Capitol Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Capitol Peak dominates the southern skyline of this high-altitude landscape within the White River National Forest. Surveyed in the late 1950s, the terrain is defined by the sharp ridges and deep glacial basins of the Elk Mountains, where high-elevation water bodies like Capitol Lake and the Pierre Lakes sit below looming summits. Human presence in this wilderness is marked primarily by an extensive network of footpaths, including the Pack Trail routes that connect remote basins like those of Snowmass Creek and Nickelson Creek.
