1982 Map of Mount Harvard

About this map

The high Sawatch Range is dominated by prominent summits including Mount Harvard, Mount Belford, and Mount Columbia in this early 1980s topographical study. The terrain is divided by the Continental Divide, separating the San Isabel National Forest in Chaffee County from the Gunnison National Forest. In the northwest, the settlement of Winfield remains a focal point for local history, located near the Winfield Cem and Clear Creek. The map records a legacy of high-altitude extraction, with prospects and operations like the Lienhart Mine and Magdalene Mine located near Magdalene Gulch. Alpine hydrology is well-defined, featuring Silver King Lake, the Twin Lakes, and numerous drainages like the Horn Fork and South Fork Pine Creek that carve through the steep glacial basins.
