1956 Map of Gore Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Gore Pass and Lynx Pass dominate this 1950s survey of the high mountain divide between Routt and Grand Counties. The landscape is a working wilderness managed by the Routt National Forest and Arapaho National Forest, characterized by an extensive network of timber and livestock operations. Industry is evident at the Strutsell Sawmill and multiple Lumber Camps, while remote ranching life is marked by the Snowshoe Ranch, Lone Cow Ranch, and Pinney Ranch. Water management is central to the area's geography, shown through the Mc Mahon Reservoir (Red Dirt Reservoir), Hadley Reservoir, and numerous Beaver Ponds along drainages like Morrison Creek and Red Dirt Creek. This era of the forest also includes the Bible Institute Camp, signifying the diverse recreational and communal uses of the high country during the mid-century.
