1958 Map of Fall River Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

The Continental Divide snake through this high-altitude landscape, defining the headwaters of the Colorado River and the Cache la Poudre River. This map shows the complex water management systems of the era, including the Grand Ditch and Upper Michigan Ditch which diverted water across the mountains. Historic human activity is marked by the Lulu City (Site), a former mining camp, and administrative outposts like the La Poudre Pass Ranger Station. In the eastern portion, the landscape shifts toward the high tundra of Rocky Mountain National Park, featuring the Fall River Visitor Center Ranger Station and the winding Tundra Curves. The terrain is characterized by dramatic features such as The Crater and Little Yellowstone, while the Kawuneeche Valley provides a significant corridor through the southern reaches.
