1967 Map of Chester

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Continental Divide snake across this high-elevation landscape in the late 1960s, marking the boundary between the Gunnison National Forest and the Rio Grande National Forest. The map documents a rugged transition zone where the Cochetopa Hills meet notable summits like Windy Peak. A striking historical remnant is the Old Railroad Grade in the northern sector, passing through the small settlement at Chester and near Tank Seven. This abandoned infrastructure, along with several stretches of Pack Trail and a Jeep Trail, illustrates the difficult transportation routes required to navigate the high alpine parks like Sawmill Park and Cameron Park. The drainage network is complex, including the headwaters of Marshall Creek, Middle Creek, and Deadmans Creek, which carve deep into the mountainous terrain.
