1957 Map of Harris Park

About this map

Harris Park and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Front Range are captured here during a mid-century period of recreational development within the Arapaho National Forest and Pike National Forest. The map illustrates a landscape transitioning from remote wilderness to a managed mountain retreat, evidenced by the clustered settlements of Royal Ranch and Highland Park in the southeast corner. These pockets of development sit in contrast to the high alpine peaks and glacial features like Lincoln Lake and the Beartrack Lakes.
