1962 Map of Glen Haven

About this map

Glen Haven and the winding Big Thompson River canyon anchor this 1960s topographic survey of the Front Range foothills. The map documents the boundary where the Roosevelt National Forest meets the eastern edge of Rocky Mountain National Park, showcasing a landscape shaped by high ridges like Bulwark Ridge and prominent summits including Crosier Mountain and Storm Mountain. The 1980s purple revisions provide critical information-gain by highlighting more recent residential developments around Olympus Heights and the infrastructure surrounding Lake Estes and Olympus Dam. This edition preserves the mid-century recreation network of the area, from the North Fork Picnic Ground to the specialized paths of the Storm Mountain Trail and North Fork Trail. Local industry is noted through a scattered Gravel Pit and Quarry, illustrating the small-scale extraction occurring alongside the growing mountain community.
