1962 Map of Panorama Peak

About this map

Estes Park sits at the northwest corner of this study, marking a landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Little Thompson River and Big Elk Meadows. Located within the Roosevelt National Forest, the area transitions from established ranching properties like Crocker Ranch and Meadowdale Ranch to high-elevation landmarks such as Mount Olympus and Mount Pisgah. The map illustrates the complex hydrography of the region, where Muggins Gulch, Big Gulch, and Grizzly Gulch carve through the terrain toward the river. Local infrastructure is noted by a Gravel Pit and a Panorama Lookout, while recreation and land use are evidenced by named clearings like Hermit Park and Pierson Park. The boundary between Larimer Co and Boulder Co runs through the southern reaches, crossing near Button Rock Mountain and the West Fork of the river.
