1960 Map of New York Peak

About this map

New York Peak stands as the central landmark of this high-altitude landscape where the White River National Forest meets the Gunnison National Forest. The 1960s terrain is defined by a complex network of alpine water management, featuring the New York Collection Canal and the Lincoln Gulch Canal which feed into the Twin Lakes Reservoir Tunnel No 2. This infrastructure highlights the era's sophisticated engineering efforts to divert water across the Continental Divide.
