1960 Map of Thimble Rock

About this map

White River National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in the Williams Mts, where seasonal movement and water management are the primary human imprints. Mapping in the late 1950s highlights a complex system of drainage and trails, with the Roaring Fork River running along the southern edge and high-altitude water bodies like Sawyer Lake and Warren Lakes dotting the terrain. The presence of Smuggler Mountain and the Jeep Trail suggests the area's transition from early mining interests toward recreational and forest management uses.
