1956 Map of Radial Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Radial Mountain and the Never Summer Range dominate this high-altitude landscape along the Continental Divide, where the boundaries of the Routt National Forest and Arapaho National Forest converge. This mid-1950s survey captures a wilderness infrastructure built around forestry and transit, notably the Gilsonite Guard Station and a Road Camp situated near the northern boundary. The terrain is defined by the intersection of the Rabbit Ears Range and the Divide at Willow Creek Pass, a critical passage for the Willow Pass Trail and a designated stock drive. Small outposts like Mutstay are scattered among a complex drainage system fed by Willow Creek, Trout Creek, and Denver Creek, illustrating how resource management and seasonal transport routes shaped the remote interior of the Rocky Mountains during this era.
