1962 Map of Comanche Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The Mummy Range defines this high-elevation landscape in the early 1960s, marking the transition between the Roosevelt National Forest and the northern boundary of Rocky Mountain National Park. The survey highlights a complex hydrological network centered on Comanche Peak, where glacial cirques hold small alpine bodies like Cirque Lake and Emmaline Lake. The eastern slopes show evidence of early 20th-century water management with the Comanche Reservoir and Hourglass Reservoir positioned to capture runoff from Beaver Creek. A network of backcountry routes, including the Flowers Trail and the Mummy Pass Trail, provided essential access for forest rangers and early recreationists through high-altitude corridors like Mummy Pass. The presence of a lone Cabin and a Gaging Sta near the South Fork Cache la Poudre River underscores the era's focus on monitoring these vital headwaters.
