1987 Map of Mount Logan

About this map

Grant and Webster serve as the primary human anchors in this high-altitude landscape dominated by the Platte River Mountains and Kenosha Mountains. The North Fork South Platte River carves a deep valley that dictates the path of travel, evidenced by the presence of the Old Kenosha Grade and the clustering of infrastructure such as a Substation and Gaging Sta. This 1980s survey illustrates a wilderness in transition, where mining history persists through several Prospects and an Air Shaft, while the region has increasingly turned toward recreation within the Mount Evans Wilderness and Lost Creek Wilderness. From the summit of Mount Logan down to the creek beds of Frenchman Gulch and Brandywine Gulch, the map details a terrain of steep drainages and isolated settlements like Santa Maria that have long weathered the alpine environment.
