1955 Map of Shipman Mountain

About this map

Shipman Mountain stands as a central peak in this mid-1950s survey, where the high-altitude hydrology of the Roosevelt National Forest and Routt National Forest meets. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of alpine water management, evidenced by features like the Lizzie Ditch and Medicine Bow Ditch, which redirect flow across the continental Divide's eastern slopes. Near the southern edge, the headwaters of the Canadian River and the Medicine Bow River emerge from the complex terrain of the East Sand Hills.
