1957 Map of Mount Evans

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Mt Evans and the surrounding Front Range peaks dominate this 1950s survey of the high alpine divide between Clear Creek and Park counties. The landscape is defined by massive glacial cirques and technical ridgelines like The Sawtooth, connecting the primary summits. Human presence is largely represented by a network of recreational and industrial infrastructure, ranging from the high-elevation Shelter Cabin near Summit Lake to the subterranean Roberts Diversion Tunnel cutting through the granite deep below the surface. Ancient footpaths and modern access routes converge here, including the Rosalie Trail and the crossing at Guanella Pass. The map details the complex drainage patterns of the Arapaho National Forest and Pike National Forest, where water flows from high basins like Abyss Lake and the Chicago Lakes into the larger creek systems of the Colorado wilderness.
