1955 Map of Mount Ethel

About this map

The Continental Divide snake through the high alpine country of the Routt National Forest in this mid-century topographical survey. Defined by its dramatic verticality, the area is punctuated by peaks like Mount Ethel and Lost Ranger Peak, which oversee a dense collection of glacial tarns and basins. Dozens of named water bodies, including Wolverine Lake, Lake Katherine, and the secluded Pristine Lake, characterize the eastern and western slopes of the divide.
