About this map

Rocky Mountain National Park contains the high alpine tundra and glaciated valleys of the Mummy Range, where the continental divide winds through peaks like Hagues Peak and Ypsilon Mtn. This modern survey illustrates the complex drainage networks of the Fall River and the Roaring River, highlighting the precarious location of the Rowe Glacier and numerous high-altitude basins such as Lawn Lake.

Automobile history is etched into the landscape via the winding Trail Ridge Road and the switchbacks of the Old Fall River Road, which provide access to Iceberg Pass and Rock Cut. A rare human monument, the Louis R Levings Grave, sits near Spectacle Lakes, while the broad expanse of Horseshoe Park marks the transition from steep timberline slopes to the valley floor. The map also delineates the Cache La Poudre Wild and Scenic River corridor, tracing the high headwaters of the Cache La Poudre Middle Fork.
