1956 Map of Parkview Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Continental Divide snake-like path through this high-altitude landscape defines the drainage patterns of Grand and Jackson Counties. On this mid-century survey, the high peaks of Parkview Mountain and Haystack Mountain tower over a complex network of headwaters including Troublesome Creek and Willow Creek. Human presence is sparse, marked primarily by the isolated Trails End Ranch and the historical Arapaho Creek Trail. The boundary between the Arapaho National Forest and Routt National Forest follows the jagged ridgelines, where names like Poison Ridge and Sheep Mountain suggest the rugged ranching and wildlife history of the region. This 1956 field check captures a landscape of natural springs and beaver ponds, documenting the backcountry before modern development altered these remote drainages.
