1915 Map of Longs Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1915

About this map

Longs Peak and the surrounding high country of the Front Range appear here just as the region transitioned from a mining and ranching frontier to a premier mountain destination. The 1912-1913 survey work by C.A. Ecklund and B.A. Jenkins documents the early development of Estes Park and Grand Lake before the full impact of modern tourism infrastructure. High-altitude outposts like Monarch P O and the Sleepy Hollow School reflect the sparse but established settlement patterns of the era. The map details the complex glacial topography and water systems including the Cache la Poudre River, Fall River, and Big Thompson River. Strategic mountain crossings such as Arapaho Pass and Buchanan Pass are clearly marked, alongside the historic Ute Trail. The intersection of Arapaho National Forest, Rocky Mountain National Park, and Colorado National Forest underscores the emerging federal management of these public lands during the early 20th century.
