1962 Map of Chambers Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Chambers Lake and its surrounding water management systems anchor this high-elevation landscape in the early 1960s. The map illustrates the complex plumbing of the Front Range, featuring the Skyline Ditch and Michigan Ditch which divert water across the continental divide. These man-made features weave through the Roosevelt National Forest alongside significant reservoirs like Joe Wright Reservoir and Barnes Meadow Reservoir. This era reflects a period of established recreation and resource management, with Chambers Lake Campground providing access for visitors and the Corral Park Cow Camp indicating continued grazing activity in the meadows. The high peaks of the Never Summer Mountains and landmarks like Bald Mountain dominate the terrain, while the headwaters of the Cache la Poudre River begin their descent toward the plains.
