1955 Map of Shipman Mountain

About this map

The high alpine intersection of Roosevelt National Forest, Medicine Bow National Forest, and Routt National Forest dominates this 1950s survey. Centered on Shipman Mountain, the terrain showcases a complex drainage system where the South Shipman Fork and North Fork Grace Creek carve through the northern slopes, while the Canadian River snakes across the southwestern corner. The map reveals the early infrastructure of the region, specifically the intricate water management of the East Sand Hills area through the Ute Ditch, Lizzie Ditch, and Kerr Ditch.
