1956 Map of Parkview Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape in the mid-1950s, defining the crest of the Rabbit Ears Range at the intersection of Grand, Routt, and Jackson counties. This survey serves as a detailed record of the headwaters for several significant drainage systems, including Willow Creek and Troublesome Creek, which flow through the Routt National Forest and Arapaho National Forest. High peaks like Parkview Mountain and Haystack Mountain dominate the skyline, while the human footprint is limited to remote outposts such as Trails End Ranch. Movement across this difficult terrain is marked by established routes like the Arapaho Creek Trail and Troublesome Pass, alongside numerous unnamed pack trails. The presence of features such as Beaver Ponds and various seasonal gulches like Paradise Gulch illustrates a primitive wilderness before modern development altered the high-country hydrology.
