1957 Map of Mount Richthofen

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape, serving as the physical and hydrologic spine of the Never Summer Mountains. The map illustrates the convergence of three major public land tracts: Colorado State Forest, Routt National Forest, and Rocky Mountain National Park. This geography is defined by prominent peaks like Mount Richthofen and the striking Nokhu Crags, overlooking subalpine basins where the Michigan River and South Fork Michigan River begin their descent. A network of pack trails, including the Michigan River Trail and Jack Creek Trail, provide the primary evidence of human passage through this wilderness. The terrain is dotted with numerous high-country water bodies such as Lake Agnes, Lake of the Clouds, and Snow Lake, many of which feed the intricate system of gulches and creeks that carve the eastern and western slopes of the divide.
