1955 Map of Davis Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Davis Peak stands as the central landmark in this mid-century survey of the high country along the Continental Divide. The landscape is dominated by the wild drainage basins of the Encampment River and Big Creek, where the topography transitions from the high summits of Red Elephant Mountain and Buck Mtn down into the glacial depressions of Seven Lakes and Lake Eileen. The Routt National Forest boundary envelopes most of the area, which is primarily accessible via primitive routes like the Stump Park Trail and West Fork Trail. To the north, the State Line marks the transition out of the Colorado high country, while to the south, the Sierra Madre range defines the horizon. This map records the wilderness state of the region before modern development, documenting natural features like Big Creek Falls and the extensive Beaver Ponds along the northeastern creek beds.
