About this map

Harris Park and Highland Park anchor the lower elevations of this high-altitude landscape, where the Arapaho National Forest and Pike National Forest converge. The topography is defined by significant summits like Rosalie Peak and Rogers Peak, which transition into the level terrain of Summit Flats. A complex network of drainages, including Deer Creek and Tanglewood Creek, feeds into larger water bodies such as Beartrack Lakes and Lincoln Lake.

This 1957 field-checked study illustrates the mid-century infrastructure of the Colorado Game and Fish Reserve, including the Bear Creek Guard Station and the Mt Evans Shelter House. Recreation and resource management are evident through the presence of scattered camps like Camp Rock Campground and Meridian Campground. Notable geological features such as the Pegmatite Points and Rosedale Peak highlight the varied mineral character of the Front Range during this era.
