1970 Map of Crooked Creek Pass

About this map

White River National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of this 1970 Eagle County survey, centered on the historic Crooked Creek Pass. The map reveals a region transitioning from raw extractive efforts to recreational utility, noted by the presence of a Prospect and several organized camps. Water management and drainage are central to the terrain, with Crooked Creek Reservoir and the headwaters of Brush Creek cutting through the deep gulches. To the north, Sylvan Lake and Yeoman Park suggest established areas for summer travel, while the Fulford Cave Campground marks the vicinity of the notable Fulford Cave. High ridges such as Red Table Mountain and Adam Mtn frame the complex network of pack trails and jeep tracks that served as the primary means of traversal through the dense Colorado wilderness during the early 1970s.
