1919 Map of Rocky Mountain National Park

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

Longs Peak and the high summits of the Front Range dominate this topographic record, which captures the early infrastructure of Rocky Mountain National Park during its first decades. Surveyed between 1912 and 1915, the map reflects a landscape at the dawn of automotive tourism, featuring the Fall River Road and the Grand Lake Road before the completion of more modern thoroughfares. Near the southern edge, the Denver and Salt Lake RR cuts through the high country toward Granby, supporting a mountain economy still tied to resource extraction, as evidenced by the Fourth of July Mines. Local life is anchored at Grand Lake and the Monarch PO, while the Sleepy Hollow School serves the dispersed mountain residents. This 1937 reprint, updated with 1938 trail data by the National Park Service, provides an essential view of the park's development before post-war expansion.
