1956 Map of Rabbit Ears Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

Continental Divide winds through this high-elevation landscape where Jackson and Grand counties meet, defined by the iconic Rabbit Ears Peak and the surrounding Rabbit Ears Range. During the mid-1950s, this area functioned as a productive landscape of water management and seasonal mountain industry. Traces of human activity are anchored by the McGowan Homestead near the McGowan Reservoir and a Lumber Camp situated in the central timberlands. The hydrological network is well-documented, showing the Crosby Ditch feeding into the Bear Park Reservoir and numerous headwaters like Grizzly Creek and Fancher Creek flowing through the Routt National Forest. High-country landmarks such as the White Slide and Harrison Hump overlook the Cloverleaf Valley, while Muddy Pass marks a critical crossing point for early travelers and surveyors navigating the divide between the Arapaho National Forest and the northern slopes.
