1962 Map of Farwell Mountain

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, which was meticulously field checked in the early 1960s. The area is characterized by high-elevation landmarks such as Farwell Mountain and Dome Peak, with drainage systems feeding into the Elk River. Human activity is concentrated along the river corridor and the diverse parks, including Diamond Park and Hinman Park. The map documents a primitive transportation network of pack trails and jeep paths, specifically the Three Island Lake Trail (Pack) and the North Elk Lake Trail (Pack), which served as vital access points for forest management and recreation. Remote outposts like the Seedhouse Guard Station and established campsites such as Seedhouse Campground highlight the area's role as a managed wilderness and recreational hub during the mid-20th century.
