1955 Map of Mount Ethel

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Routt National Forest encompasses this high alpine terrain along the Continental Divide, where the Park Range creates a formidable natural barrier between Routt and Jackson counties. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, rising from deep drainage points like Bear Canyon and Red Canyon to prominent summits including Mount Ethel and Lost Ranger Peak. The high-altitude basins are dotted with dozens of glacial lakes such as Lake of the Crags, Wolverine Lake, and the tandem of Rainbow Lake and Middle Rainbow Lake. This 1950s survey captures the area primarily as a primitive wilderness reached only by historic routes like the Wyoming Trail and Rainbow Lake Trail, emphasizing the remote character of the headwaters for the South Fork Elk River and Mad Creek.
