1961 Map of Longs Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Longs Peak dominates the southern reaches of this landscape, a high-altitude terrain defined by glacial activity and early mountain recreation. Within Rocky Mountain National Park, the map reveals a complex geography of moraines and alpine basins, including the South Lateral Moraine and Glacier Basin. The presence of the Eugenia Mine near Storm Pass serves as a reminder of the prospecting history that preceded the region's transition to a tourism-based economy. To the north, the growing community of Estes Park and seasonal sites like Tuxedo Park and the Estes Park Conference Camp (YMCA) show the area's mid-century development. Notable landmarks for hikers and climbers are meticulously labeled, from the high Granite Pass and The Keyhole to the Keyboard of the Winds, documenting the established routes used by generations of visitors to the front range.
