1958 Map of Grays Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

The high peaks of the Continental Divide dominate this 1958 survey, where the border between Clear Creek and Summit counties follows the rocky ridge lines. This area is a significant landscape of mid-century alpine recreation and historical resource extraction, anchored by Torreys Peak and Grays Peak. To the west, the Arapaho Basin Ski Area marks the early development of Colorado's winter sports industry along the North Fork Snake River. The central corridor along Clear Creek reveals a legacy of mining, evidenced by the Golden Belt Tunnel and numerous named workings like the Hamill Mine and Silver Cloud Mine. The high-altitude settlement at Graymont serves as a focal point for the surrounding network of drainage basins, including Grizzly Gulch and Stevens Gulch, which were critical to the movement of ore and timber. Narrow routes like the Ruby Trail and Argentine Pass underscore the difficult navigation of this terrain before the expansion of modern thoroughfares.
