1956 Map of Rabbit Ears Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape, defining the watershed between the Routt National Forest and Arapaho National Forest. The prominent volcanic formation of Rabbit Ears Peak overlooks the vital mountain passage at Rabbit Ears Pass, which serves as a primary link between the western slope and the high parks. This 1950s survey documents the infrastructure of a working wilderness, from the McGowan Homestead in the northeast to a Lumber Camp near Cloverleaf Valley. Water management is evident through the presence of the Ross Ditch and several reservoirs like Bear Park Reservoir, supporting high-country agriculture and forestry. The terrain is crisscrossed by established routes such as the Helena Trail and the Lake Trail, alongside several unnamed jeep trails that indicate mid-century resource access.
