1961 Map of Singer Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Singer Peak dominates the high-altitude landscape of Carbon County in the early 1960s, marking a rugged intersection of the Continental Divide and the Medicine Bow National Forest. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching and mining frontier where early resource management is evident through engineering works like the Deep Creek Ditch and Belvidere Ditch. These irrigation systems, alongside the Sandstone Divide Trail, illustrate how early 20th-century settlers and government agencies adapted to the challenging hydrology of the high divide.
