1962 Map of Rawah Lakes

About this map

North Rawah Peak and South Rawah Peak anchor this high-elevation landscape within the Roosevelt National Forest and Routt National Forest. The map documents a dense network of alpine lakes and glacial features, including the numbered Rawah Lakes and the distinctive Twin Crater Lakes near the southern boundary. The presence of the Big McIntyre Burn in the northern section provides a record of past forest disturbance, while the established Rawah Ranch sits near the Laramie River in the northeast corner. This 1960s survey illustrates a transitional wilderness area where the Larimer and Jackson county lines meet along an indefinite boundary. Geologic and topographic interest is centered on the sharp relief between peaks like Cameron Peak and the drainage basins of McIntyre Creek and the West Branch Laramie River.
