1962 Map of Comanche Peak

About this map

Comanche Peak and the high ridges of the Mummy Range dominate this landscape, which transitions between the Roosevelt National Forest and Rocky Mountain National Park. Surveyed in the early 1960s, the map reveals a network of high-altitude water management and recreational trails. Significant reservoirs, including Comanche Reservoir and Hourglass Reservoir, are positioned among the drainages of the Cache la Poudre River. The terrain is marked by alpine features such as Emmaline Lake, Cirque Lake, and the remote Mirror Lake, which is accessible via the Mirror Lake Trail. Foot travel and pack animal routes define the local transit, with the Zimmerman Trail and Mummy Pass Trail crossing significant gaps like Mummy Pass. This survey provides a record of the wilderness boundary before later development, showing the placement of isolated structures like the Cabin near Dadd Gulch.
