2013 Map of Comanche Peak

About this map

Comanche Peak and the high peaks of the Mummy Range dominate this high-altitude landscape where Rocky Mountain National Park meets the Roosevelt National Forest. The map documents a complex hydrological network defined by the Cache la Poudre River and its major tributaries, including the South Fork Cache la Poudre River and Cascade Creek. Significant water management features are evident through the Comanche Reservoir and Hourglass Reservoir, which sit among natural basins like Mirror Lake and Timberline Lake. This environment is carved by an extensive network of named forest paths, such as Flowers Trail 939 and the Mirror Lake Trail 943, providing a record of the trail systems and access points used in this alpine terrain. Strategic high-country crossings including Mummy Pass, Flint Pass, and Icefield Pass illustrate the historical movement patterns through these mountain gaps.
