1957 Map of Harris Park

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Harris Park and Highland Park sit at the eastern base of the Front Range, where the drainages of Elk Creek and Deer Creek begin their descent toward the plains. This mid-century survey captures a landscape of managed wildlands and early mountain residential clusters, divided between the Arapaho National Forest to the north and the Pike National Forest to the south. The transition from high peaks like Rosalie Peak and Rogers Peak down to the sheltered valley at Royal Ranch highlights the area's role as a recreational and conservation corridor. High-altitude landmarks such as the Mt. Evans Shelter House and various campgrounds like Camp Rock Campground and Camp Rosalie illustrate the developed accessibility of these peaks during the 1950s. Geologic features like the prominent Pegmatite Points and numerous glacial basins containing the Beartrack Lakes and Lincoln Lake dominate the high western terrain.
