1961 Map of Longs Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Longs Peak dominates the southern reaches of this mountain landscape, its massive profile surrounded by glacial features like the Mills Moraine and the Mills Glacier. In the early 1960s, the area reflects a transition between early frontier industry and a growing recreational economy. The presence of the Eugenia Mine north of Moore Park provides a window into the mineral extraction that preceded the region's preservation, while the Estes Park Conference Camp (YMCA) and Tuxedo Park near Estes Park mark the maturation of the valley as a destination. Water management is evident at the Gaging Sta and Marys Lake, where the landscape is utilized for both utility and beauty. The map documents the intricate high-altitude geography of Rocky Mountain National Park, including the jagged outlines of The Keyhole and The Loft, alongside the established infrastructure of the Longs Peak Ranger Station and various campgrounds.
