2013 Map of Mount Harvard

About this map

Mount Harvard and the surrounding Collegiate Peaks dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of the San Isabel National Forest and Gunnison National Forest. This 2013 survey details a high-alpine environment where several fourteen-thousand-foot summits, including Mount Columbia, Mount Oxford, and Mount Belford, tower over drainage basins like Horn Fork Basin and Missouri Gulch. Historical human presence is marked by the Windfield Cem in the northwest and isolated outposts such as Little Johns Cabin and T-Cross Ranch. The map illustrates a complex network of backcountry routes, including the prominent Colorado Trail 1776 and various specialized paths like the Mt Harvard Frenchman Creek Trail 1501, which facilitate travel between high-altitude glacial lakes like Lake Rebecca and Anglemeyer Lake.
