1948 Map of Mount Big Chief

USGS Topo · Published 1953

About this map

Pike National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, which in the late 1940s was characterized by a network of high-altitude ranches and recreational retreats. The area south of Mount Big Chief served as a rugged corridor where the Gold Camp Road winds past established outposts like Rosemont and Broadmoor Lodge. These settlements, along with the Penrose-Rosemont Reservoir, reflect the early 20th-century development of the region for tourism and water management.
