1950 Map of Robbs Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1952

About this map

The Rubicon River and its numerous tributaries dominate this mid-century survey of the Eldorado National Forest, revealing a landscape defined by water management and early wilderness access. Traces of pioneer-era infrastructure appear in the form of the Hunsucker Ditch and Georgetown Divide, alongside remote outposts like Uncle Toms Cabin and the Hartless Guard Sta. High points such as Robbs Peak, topped by the Robbs Peak Lookout, provide surveillance over the deep drainages of Pilot Creek and Plum Creek. The presence of several established homesteads, including the Lower Bassi Ranch and Granlees Ranch in the southeast, suggests a persistent human footprint in these high valleys during the 1950s. A network of historic paths, including the Rubicon Trail and Camp 14 Trail, connects the river crossings at Ellicott Bridge with the remote camps used by foresters and early recreationists.
