1956 Map of Lake Agnes

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

High mountain ranching and alpine recreation define this 1956 survey of the high country straddling Routt and Grand Counties. The landscape is dominated by the massive peaks of the Gore Range and the Rabbit Ears Range, with the Continental Divide winding through the northeastern corner. Early mid-century land use is evident in the cluster of remote homesteads and operations such as Andersons Ranch, Martin Ranch, and the De Berard Peak Ranch. Industrial activity in the timber-rich forests is marked by the Smoot Sawmill near the northern boundary. Water management for high-altitude grazing is extensive, shown through a network of elevated reservoirs including Whiteley Peak Reservoir, Basin Reservoir, and Milk Creek Reservoir, often connected by a series of ditches and an Aqueduct. Recreational development is anchored by Rabbit Ears Lodge and a nearby ski tow, signaling the area's growth as a mountain destination.
