1963 Map of Saint Charles Peak

About this map

The San Isabel National Forest dominates this 1963 survey of the Wet Mountains, where the drainage divide between the Saint Charles River and various northern creeks shapes the human geography. The area reflects a mid-century focus on forest recreation and resource management, anchored by sites like the North Creek Campground, Ophir Creek Campground, and the Davenport Picnic Area. Transportation through this high-altitude landscape is defined by the Greenhorn Highway and Ophir Creek Road, providing access to the tiny settlement of Fairview and landmarks like Saint Charles Peak.
