1961 Map of South Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

South Peak and Black Mountain dominate this high-altitude landscape along the Continental Divide where the borders of Lake, Park, and Chaffee counties meet. The western edge of the map follows the corridor of the Arkansas River, featuring the Clear Creek Reservoir and a technical infrastructure that includes a Gaging Sta and a Gravel Pit. Transportation history is clearly etched into the terrain via the Denver and Rio Grande Western line and an Old Railroad Grade that winds through the drainage of Columbia Creek. To the east, the headwaters of the South Fork South Platte River and the descriptively named Rough and Tumbling Creek flow through the Pike National Forest. This era of the map shows a wilderness managed through a network of pack trails, including a prominent Pack Trail crossing the San Isabel National Forest near Low Pass Gulch.
