1962 Map of Pingree Park

About this map

Colorado State University (Pingree Park Campus) serves as a focal point for this mountain landscape, which transitions from the Roosevelt National Forest into the northern reaches of Rocky Mountain National Park. High-altitude ranching and recreation define the mid-century character of the area, evidenced by the Sky Ranch, Koenig Ranch, and Lazy D Ranch. The hydrology of the region is complex, with the Cache la Poudre River and its various forks, such as the South Fork Cache la Poudre River, carving through the terrain. Evidence of local industry appears at the White Rock Quarry in the northeast. For those tracing the geography of the high peaks, the map identifies significant summits like Signal Mountain and Ramsey Peak, alongside several alpine lakes including Lake Louise and Lake Dunraven.
