1970 Map of Crooked Creek Pass

About this map

White River National Forest defines the character of this high-elevation terrain, where steep ridges and narrow gulches converge. Significant landmarks like Red Table Mountain and Mount Eve dominate the skyline, while the eastern edge transition into the Holy Cross Wilderness near Craig Peak. Water is central to the landscape, with Crooked Creek flowing through the center of the sheet toward the Crooked Creek Reservoir, while other drainages like Lime Creek and Jakeman Creek carve out deep valleys. The map documents an established network of mountain access, showing a mix of established roads and more primitive pack trails and jeep trails. These routes connect recreational and geographic points of interest such as the Fulford Cave Campground and secluded waters like Woods Lake and Sylvan Lake. High mountain meadows such as Lime Park and Yeoman Park break up the densely wooded slopes, providing clearings in an otherwise challenging and vertically oriented environment.
