1957 Map of Harris Park

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Arapaho National Forest and Pike National Forest meet in this 1957 study of the high-altitude terrain along the boundary of Clear Creek and Park counties. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from timberline landmarks like Rogers Peak and Rosalie Peak down into the narrow valleys where mid-century settlements began to take root. In the lower elevations, the development of Harris Park and Highland Park illustrates the mid-century expansion of mountain residential areas, while the Royal Ranch and various forest service sites like the Bear Creek Guard Station show the balance of private ownership and federal management. Hydrological features such as Beartrack Lakes and Lincoln Lake feed the intricate drainage system of Bear Creek and Elk Creek, shaping the placement of early recreation spots like the Camp Rock Campground and Deer Creek Campground.
