1980 Map of Mount Ouray

About this map

Continental Divide serves as the literal and geographic spine of this high-altitude landscape, separating the San Isabel National Forest and the Gunnison National Forest. The map documents a rugged alpine environment dominated by peaks such as Mount Ouray and Chipeta Mountain, with the dramatic Devils Armchair defining the local topography. At lower elevations, the network of water bodies including O'Haver Lake and Pass Creek Lake provides focal points for the O'Haver Lake Campground, illustrating the area's transition toward recreational use by the late 1970s.
