1962 Map of Comanche Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Mummy Range peaks and high-altitude basins define this Larimer County landscape as it appeared in the early 1960s, spanning the boundary between Roosevelt National Forest and Rocky Mountain National Park. The map documents a rugged water management and recreation network, highlighted by the Comanche Reservoir and the uniquely shaped Hourglass Reservoir on Beaver Creek. Hikers and surveyors of the era utilized an extensive system of primitive routes, including the Dadd Gulch Trail, Flowers Trail, and the Big South Trail, which parallels the Cache la Poudre River. From the alpine heights of Comanche Peak to the sheltered waters of Mirror Lake and Emmaline Lake, the survey illustrates the complex drainage patterns feeding into Mummy Pass Creek and Hague Creek. A solitary Cabin and a Gaging Station represent the sparse human infrastructure in this wilderness area.
