1957 Map of Harris Park

About this map

Harris Park and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Front Range are documented here during the late 1950s, showing a landscape defined by forestry management and early alpine recreation. The transition from the Arapaho National Forest in the north to the Pike National Forest in the south is marked by the Clear Creek Co Park Co line, which divides the steep drainages of Bear Creek and Elk Creek. This era of the mountains features established camps such as Camp Rock Campground and Beartrack Lakes Campground, reflecting the post-war expansion of mountain access.
