About this map

Bockman Lumber Camp and Willey Lumber Camp anchor the timber-harvesting landscape of this mountainous region within the Colorado State Forest. The early 1960s terrain is marked by the complex hydraulics of the Michigan Ditch and the Michigan River, illustrating the intensive management of water resources across the Continental Divide. Elevations reach their peak at Clark Peak, while the high-altitude Cameron Pass Campground and the State Forest Headquarters suggest the area's dual role as a site for both state industry and growing recreational use.

Remote outposts like M-M Cabins and Preachers Cabin Springs provide specific points of interest for local historians tracking the footprint of early forestry and grazing. The map also delineates the high border between Routt National Forest and Roosevelt National Forest, where drainage systems like the North Fork Canadian River and Joe Wright Creek flow from the alpine ridges of the Never Summer Mts.
