1962 Map of Chambers Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Chambers Lake and its surrounding water systems define this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the Laramie River and the Cache la Poudre River nearly meet. In the early 1960s, the area's hydrology was heavily managed by features like the Skyline Ditch and the Michigan Ditch, which redirected vital water resources across the continental divide. These man-made diversions contrast with the primitive Green Ridge Trail and Blue Lake Trail (Pack) that served the recreational and livestock needs of the region. The presence of the Corral Park Cow Camp highlights the seasonal ranching history of the Roosevelt National Forest, while various reservoirs like Long Draw Reservoir and Joe Wright Reservoir illustrate the post-war expansion of storage infrastructure. From the heights of Bald Mountain to the depths of Box Canyon, the map traces the intersection of public forest management and regional water development.
