1957 Map of Mc Henrys Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1992

About this map

McHenrys Peak and the high ridges of the Continental Divide anchor this mid-century topographical survey of the central Rocky Mountain National Park. The landscape is defined by its extreme alpine hydrology, featuring a network of high-elevation basins such as Bighorn Flats and numerous glacial remnants including Spruce Glacier and Tyndall Glacier. At this stage in the park's history, the map documents the established backcountry infrastructure, including a Patrol Cabin near Spruce Lake and a Ranger Station situated by Bear Lake. The source material captures the transition of the Big Thompson River from its high mountain headwaters at The Pool down through Canyon. Significant peaks like Hallett Peak, Otis Peak, and Taylor Peak are mapped alongside a complex system of namesake water bodies like Loomis Lake and Lake Helene, illustrating the intricate drainage patterns that characterize this portion of the Front Range before more modern climate shifts affected the visible ice fields.
