About this map

Willow Creek Pass marks a critical high-altitude junction in the mid-1950s where the Never Summer Range and Rabbit Ears Range meet. This survey documents the intersection of the Routt National Forest and Arapaho National Forest, a landscape defined by seasonal movement and federal land management. Evidence of forest infrastructure and early recreational access is clear at the Gilsonite Guard Station and established campsites like Trail Creek Campground and Denver Creek Campground. A network of unpaved transit routes, including the Willow Pass Trail and various Stock Drive paths, underscores the area's history as a corridor for livestock and backcountry travel. Names like Mutstay and the Road Camp near Snyder Creek reflect the sparse, functional settlement pattern of this high-country divide.
