1961 Map of Estes Park

About this map

Estes Park sits at the gateway to high-altitude wilderness, anchored by the confluence of the Big Thompson River and Fall River. This 1961 revision, updated with 1976 data, shows the expansion of the town toward Lake Estes and its proximity to the State Fish Hatchery. The landscape is dominated by the Mummy Range to the northwest and the prominent formations of Lumpy Ridge, including the distinctive Twin Owls and The Needles.
