2000 Map of Hahns Peak

About this map

Hahns Peak and the settlement of Columbine anchor this high-altitude landscape within the Routt National Forest, where the transition from 19th-century resource extraction to 20th-century recreation is clearly visible. The map detail reveals an extensive network of mining claims on the slopes of the peak, including the Master Key Mine, Royal Flush Mine, and Tom Thumb Mine. A Hahns Peak Lookout stands atop the namesake summit, overlooking the waters of Steamboat Lake and Pearl Lake. The legacy of the area's early inhabitants is marked by a Cem near the Hahns Peak townsite and various old prospects tucked into drainages like Ways Gulch and Dutch Creek. Local landmarks such as Cap Smith Hill and Trilby Flats provide additional geographic context for researchers tracing the development of this northern Colorado mountain district.
