1962 Map of Chambers Lake

About this map

The high alpine headwaters of both the Laramie River and the Cache la Poudre River meet in this 1960s survey of the Roosevelt National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex water management system, including the Upper Michigan Ditch and prominent catchments like Chambers Lake and the Barnes Meadow Reservoir. These features illustrate the vital role this high-country terrain played in directing water across the Continental Divide and toward the plains.
