1957 Map of Trail Ridge

About this map

The Mummy Range dominates this high-altitude survey of the Colorado Rockies, featuring the formidable summit of Hagues Peak and the remnant Rowe Glacier. The landscape is defined by the engineering feat of Trail Ridge Road, which winds past dramatic overlooks like Rainbow Curve and Rock Cut, providing access to the park's interior. This map documents a period of active recreation and management within Rocky Mountain National Park, showing the early footprint of the Hidden Valley Winter Use Area with its Ski Lift and facilities. For those studying the history of park infrastructure, the map details the location of several Patrol Cabins and the Toll Memorial. Waterways like the Fall River create a series of landmarks including Chasm Falls and Horseshoe Falls, while the Ute Trail preserves a historic travel corridor across the tundra near Iceberg Pass.
