1957 Map of Squaw Pass

About this map

Arapaho National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the rugged peaks of the Front Range meet a series of mid-century ranching and recreation sites. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes between Clear Creek in the north and the Bear Creek Valley to the south, connected by the winding Squaw Pass Road. Local industry and land use are evidenced by the presence of the Shaffer Mine on Shaffer Hill and numerous established outposts such as Evans Ranch Hdqrs and Dodge Ranch Headquarters.
