1960 Map of Maroon Bells

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Elk Mountains define this high-altitude landscape where the Pitkin Co Gunnison Co line traverses some of the most prominent summits in the range. The 1960 survey focuses on the glacier-carved valleys and sharp peaks of the White River National Forest and Gunnison National Forest. A complex network of Pack Trail routes connects the deep basins, providing access to landmarks like Maroon Lake and its nearby Maroon Lake Campground. The presence of a Mine in the southern reaches and the Conundrum Guard Station near Conundrum Hot Springs reflects the historical intersection of resource extraction and early wilderness management. High passes such as Buckskin Pass and West Maroon Pass serve as the primary gateways between the steep drainages of Maroon Creek and Snowmass Creek.
