2011 Map of Mount Rae

About this map

West Boulder River anchors this high-elevation landscape in Park County, where the transition from ranching valleys to steep peaks is clearly defined by historical property lines. The map reveals a legacy of western settlement through its numerous family-named landmarks, such as the Bruffey Homestead and Rogers Homestead, which are interspersed with active operations like the Swingley Ranch and Bar Twenty Ranch. This concentration of homestead labels suggests a history of difficult land claims in the shadow of peaks like Mount Rae and Mount Greeley. Navigation through the area follows established corridors like Swingley Rd and W Boulder Rd, providing access to high alpine features including Nurses Lakes and the remote Lost Lakes. The terrain is characterized by broad flats such as Taylor Flat and the West Boulder Meadows, which historically served as crucial grazing grounds within the rugged surrounding topography.
