1982 Map of Harvard Lakes

About this map

The Arkansas River corridor defines this portion of the central Rockies, where the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks follow the river's path between the towering peaks of the Pike National Forest and San Isabel National Forest. Local industrial history is visible in the clusters of extractive infrastructure, notably the Little Annie Mine and various unlabeled mines dotting the gulches. Smaller settlements like Princeton, Riverside, and Americus mark the valley floor, while the surrounding high country is accessed via the Pine Creek Trail and the Wapaca Trail. The map also captures several cemeteries, a Pumping Sta, and recreational landmarks such as Berrian Park and the Athletic Field. Geological points of interest like Elephant Rock and the namesake Harvard Lakes sit within a landscape of numerous named drainage's, including Mc Fadden Creek and Fourmile Creek.
