1966 Map of Pagoda Peak

About this map

Pagoda Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Routt and Rio Blanco counties. Recorded during the mid-1960s, the area is defined by the convergence of the Routt National Forest and White River National Forest, where the terrain transitions across the massive Beaver Flat Tops and Egry Mesa. The map detail reveals a specialized mountain economy and recreation landscape, where travel is limited to a network of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails. High-country water sources such as Stinsby Reservoir, Vaughn Lake, and Pagoda Lake are interspersed with open meadows like Cyclone Park. This survey captures the drainage patterns of several critical watersheds, including Beaver Creek and the East Fork Williams Fork, before modern recreational developments altered the character of these remote forests.
