1962 Map of Rawah Lakes

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

High alpine terrain within the Roosevelt National Forest and Colorado State Forest dominates this 1962 field-checked survey. The landscape is defined by the sharp elevations of North Rawah Peak and South Rawah Peak, overlooking a complex system of glacial basins. The area’s water management history is evident through the inclusion of the Skyline Ditch and the Lower Supply Ditch, which redirect snowmelt through the high country. In the northern reaches, the Big McIntyre Burn marks a significant historical fire scar near McIntyre Creek. While the Laramie River flows through the eastern edge, most of the map is a network of remote trails like the Medicine Bow Trail and named water bodies such as Sugarbowl Lake and Little Rainbow Lake. Rawah Ranch serves as a lone human outpost in this high-altitude wilderness at the edge of the Routt National Forest.
