1962 Map of Chambers Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

Chambers Lake serves as a central landmark in this high-altitude landscape where the headwaters of the Cache la Poudre River and Joe Wright Creek are managed through an intricate system of reservoirs and ditches. The presence of the Skyline Ditch and Michigan Ditch illustrates the early 20th-century engineering required to divert water across the Continental Divide. These waterworks are surrounded by the heavily timbered lands of the Roosevelt National Forest and Routt National Forest, with a small portion of Rocky Mtn Nat Park visible in the southeast. Historical land use is evident at the Corral Park Cow Camp, while established recreation sites like Chambers Lake Campground and Long Draw Campground indicate the area's transition into a seasonal destination. High peaks such as Bald Mountain and Iron Mountain anchor the terrain, which is crisscrossed by historic routes including the Green Ridge Trail and Flowers Trail.
