1962 Map of Elkhorn Mountain

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape of northern Colorado as mapped in the early 1960s. The terrain is defined by the steep slopes of Elkhorn Mountain and City Mountain, where a network of watercourses like the Middle Fork Little Snake River and King Solomon Creek carve through the mountain passes. The presence of the Elkhorn Mine on the northern slopes of its namesake peak points to the area's mineral prospects, while a solitary Dead Mexican Park Grave in the southeastern quadrant offers a poignant historical marker for genealogists and local historians.
