1957 Map of Mc Henrys Peak

About this map

McHenrys Peak and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of Rocky Mountain National Park are documented here following a 1957 field check. This portion of the Continental Divide reveals a complex system of glaciers and high-mountain hydrology, where the Tyndall Glacier and Andrews Glacier feed into intricate water networks like Spruce Canyon and Gorge Lakes. The high-country infrastructure of the mid-20th century is visible through features like the Patrol Cabin and the Eureka Ditch, a water diversion project cutting across the Bighorn Flats. Significant peaks such as Hallett Peak, Stones Peak, and the distinctive Little Matterhorn dominate the skyline, while numerous named bodies of water, including Lake Nokoni and Tourmaline Lake, fill the glacial basins between the granite summits.
