1961 Map of Longs Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The dramatic granite spine of Longs Peak anchors this 1961 revision, where the high-altitude wilderness meets the growing community of Estes Park. This survey reveals the mid-century infrastructure supporting tourism and recreation, from the Estes Park Conference Camp (YMCA) to the Beaver Meadows Entrance of Rocky Mountain National Park. While the higher elevations are defined by sharp ridges like the Keyboard of the Winds and permanent features such as Chasm Lake, the lower elevations show the development of Stanley Park and Tuxedo Park. The landscape is a detailed record of glacial history, clearly marking the Bierstadt Moraine and Mills Moraine alongside modern additions like the Aspen Creek Siphon. This edition meticulously tracks the boundaries of the Roosevelt National Forest as they interface with local valley settlements.
