1957 Map of Mount Richthofen

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The Continental Divide carves a high-altitude spine through this landscape, marking the boundary between Jackson and Grand counties. This survey, grounded in 1950s observations with late-1970s updates, depicts the dramatic intersection of the Never Summer Mountains and three major protected areas: Rocky Mountain National Park, Routt National Forest, and the Colorado State Forest. The headwaters of the Michigan River and South Fork Michigan River emerge from high glacial basins, while steep drainage features like Box Canyon and Skeleton Gulch define the eastern slopes. A network of high-country paths, including the Michigan River Trail and Jack Creek Trail, provide the primary means of traversing this wilderness. Notable peaks like Mount Richthofen and the Nokhu Crags loom over alpine waters such as Lake Agnes and Snow Lake, illustrating the topographical complexity of the Front Range before modern development reached these higher elevations.
