About this map

Comanche Peak and the high ridges of the Mummy Range define the geography of this high-altitude landscape within Roosevelt National Forest and Rocky Mountain National Park. The survey illustrates a complex network of glacial cirques and high-country water bodies, including Mirror Lake, Emmaline Lake, and the larger Comanche Reservoir. These water sources feed into drainages like the S Fork Cache la Poudre River and Beaver Cr.

Access to this remote backcountry is traced through historic routes such as the Zimmerman Trail, Flowers Trail, and the Beaver Creek Trail. Notable mountain crossings like Mummy Pass, Icefield Pass, and Flint Pass show the traditional foot and pack animal paths used to navigate these peaks. The inclusion of labels like Skull Point and Fall Mtn further highlights the descriptive nomenclature used by early surveyors and travelers in the Larimer County highlands.
