1905 Map of Mount Olympus

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Rustic Hotel and a series of private homesteads anchor this early 20th-century landscape in the Colorado Front Range. Surveyed by Frank Tweedy in 1905, the map documents the transition from early ranching and mining to the burgeoning mountain tourism of the era. Concentrations of settlement like Loveland Heights and The Orchard are situated along the Big Thompson River, while the southern reaches show early family landholdings such as Plums Ranch and Miners Ranch near the Larimer and Boulder County line. The topographical detail, with a 100-foot contour interval, captures the prominence of Mt Olympus and Storm Mtn. The survey includes early park boundaries for Roosevelt National Forest and the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park, illustrating the region's preservation just as it became a destination for western travel.
