1960 Map of Capitol Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Capitol Peak dominates the high-altitude landscape of the Elk Mountains in this 1960 field-checked survey. The area is defined by a network of drainage basins, where waterways like Capitol Creek, Snowmass Creek, and Avalanche Creek carve through the White River National Forest. Human presence is sparse and functional, centered around the Capitol Creek Guard Station and the Snowmass Falls Ranch. High alpine features including Pierre Lakes and Capitol Lake sit beneath prominent summits like Mount Daly and Clark Peak. Numerous segments of Pack Trail suggest the primary mode of travel through this remote wilderness before the expansion of modern infrastructure. This map captures the region's topography as it was documented just before the 1960s, preserving the names of local landmarks like Haystack Mountain and Hardscrabble Lake.
