1962 Map of Clark Peak

About this map

The high-country timber and water resources of the Front Range dominate this mid-century survey, specifically where the Larimer and Jackson County line traverses the dramatic ridgeline between Clark Peak and the Diamond Peaks. In the early 1960s, the landscape shows a clear focus on forestry and resource management, with the Boekman Lumber Camp and Willey Lumber Camp situated along the headwaters of the Michigan River and its various forks. These camps, alongside the State Forest Headquarters near Ranger Lakes, point to an era of active timber harvest within the Colorado State Forest.
