1957 Map of Mount Richthofen

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The Continental Divide serves as the high spine of this Colorado landscape, where the Never Summer Mountains separate the headwaters of the Michigan River from the western slope. In the late 1950s, this area was defined by its intersecting public lands, including the Colorado State Forest, Routt National Forest, and Rocky Mountain National Park. High-altitude features like Nokhu Crags and Mount Richthofen dominate the eastern ridgeline, overlooking alpine waters such as Lake Agnes and Snow Lake. Evidence of early water management is visible in the Upper Michigan Ditch, while the Michigan Trail and Parika Trail trace the routes used by foresters and early backcountry travelers through the Bearpaws Peaks.
