1962 Map of Comanche Peak

About this map

Mummy Range peaks and glacial basins define this early 1960s survey of the high country where Roosevelt National Forest meets Rocky Mountain National Park. The landscape is a network of alpine hydrology, featuring significant water bodies such as Comanche Reservoir, Hourglass Reservoir, and Browns Lake. The map reveals a remote wilderness infrastructure of high-altitude paths, including the Mummy Pass Trail, Zimmerman Trail, and Flowers Trail, which connect isolated features like the Cabin near Dadd Gulch. From the summit of Comanche Peak to the headwaters of the South Fork Cache la Poudre River, the sheet documents a preserved mountain environment before the intensification of modern recreational use, capturing the exact placement of high-country passes like Mummy Pass and Icefield Pass.
