2019 Map of Longs Peak

About this map

Rocky Mountain National Park and the adjacent Roosevelt National Forest meet at the western edge of Estes Park, where the high alpine terrain of the Front Range transitions into glacial formations like the South Lateral Moraine and Bierstadt Moraine. This 2019 survey provides significant genealogical detail through isolated burials and small family plots, including the Edwin Bradt Grave, Hupp Family Cem, and Ransom S Kendall Grave. Engineering history is visible in the subterranean path of the Alva B Adams Tunnel and Rams Horn Tunnel, part of the region's complex water infrastructure. From the peak of Deer Mountain to the depths of East Gorge Canyon, the landscape is defined by the Big Thompson River and numerous high-altitude lakes such as Chasm Lake and Bierstadt Lake. The settlement of Beaver Point serves as a northern gateway to the meadows and basins frequented by early area settlers.
