1957 Map of Longs Peak

About this map

Estes Park serves as the gateway to this high-altitude landscape where the complex terrain of Rocky Mountain National Park meets the Roosevelt National Forest. The map documents a mid-century period of recreation and water management, featuring landmarks like the Estes Park Conference Camp (YMCA) and the Aspen Creek Siphon. Significant elevation changes are detailed from the valley floors of Moraine Park up to the formidable heights of Twin Sisters Peaks and the technical features of the Boulder Field Trail leading toward the Keyhole. This survey preserves the mid-century layout of essential infrastructure, including the Moraine Park Museum and the Longs Peak Ranger Station and Campground, alongside remnants of industrial activity like the Eugene Mine and several gravel pits.
