1966 Map of Red Ridge

About this map

Red Ridge and its adjacent highlands form a complex topography of ridges and drainages within the Caribou National Forest during the mid-1960s. The landscape is defined by the high point at Red Peak, which features the Red Peak Lookout Tower as a primary landmark for fire observation. The area is characterized by a lack of permanent settlements, instead showing a network of mountain infrastructure including the Currant Creek Guard Station and numerous routes such as the Long Trail and various Pack Trails that navigated the steep terrain between Deadhorse Ridge and Chaparral Ridge.
