1957 Map of Mount Evans

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Mt Evans and the high peaks of the Front Range dominate this mid-century topographic survey, where the boundaries of Arapaho National Forest and Pike National Forest meet. The landscape is defined by its extreme alpine hydrology, featuring high-elevation basins like the Chicago Lakes and Summit Lake, which sits at the foot of Mt Warren. Human presence is marked by high-altitude infrastructure, including the Shelter Cabin near the summit and the Roberts Diversion Tunnel cutting through the southern granite. Access into the wilderness is documented through a network of Pack Trails and the Chicago Lakes Trail, while the traverse at Guanella Pass provides the primary passage between the South Clear Creek and Geneva Creek drainages. The map records the detailed glacial topography of landmarks like The Sawtooth and Mt Bierstadt before modern high-altitude tourism surged.
