1962 Map of Pingree Park

About this map

Colorado State University (Pingree Park Campus) serves as a central hub for this high-altitude landscape in Larimer County, where the borders of Roosevelt National Forest and Rocky Mountain National Park meet. The 1962 survey reveals a terrain defined by private holdings like Koenig Ranch and Sky Ranch tucked among prominent peaks. A sophisticated network of trails, including the Mummy Pass Trail and Bulwark Ridge Trail, provides access to the high backcountry of the Stormy Peaks and Signal Mountain. The map records specific recreational and industrial points of interest, such as the Tom Bennett Campground and the White Rock Quarry near the Cache la Poudre River. To the south, the headwaters of the Big Thompson River are fed by glacial lakes including Lake Louise and Lake Husted.
