2019 Map of McHenrys Peak

About this map

Rocky Mountain National Park serves as the backdrop for this high-altitude survey, which documents the complex verticality of the Front Range. The map details a landscape defined by sharp peaks like Stones Peak and Snowdrift Peak, and the deep glacial scars of Hayden Gorge and Spruce Canyon. A notable human imprint on this wild terrain is the Alva B Adams Tunnel, an engineering feat designed to divert water beneath the continental divide. For historians, the inclusion of the Doctor Thornton R Sampson Grave and Chitwood Grave offers a rare personal record of early individuals who lived or died in these mountains. The sheet also reveals an extensive network of early corridors, including the Ute Trail E and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, alongside water management features like the Eureka Ditch.
