1957 Map of Trail Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1986

About this map

The Mummy Range and high alpine terrain of Larimer County dominate this mid-century topographic record of Rocky Mountain National Park. High-altitude motoring and early winter recreation are central themes, evidenced by the winding path of Trail Ridge and its notable stopping points like Rainbow Curve and Many Parks Curve. The map detail includes the Hidden Valley Winter Use Area with its Ski Lift, showing the park's development as a year-round destination. Glacial history is visible in features like the Rowe Glacier near Hagues Peak and the drainage patterns of the Roaring River and Fall River. Remote infrastructure is sparse but present, including a Patrol Cabin at Lawn Lake and a Power Plant near Horseshoe Falls, reflecting the management of these protected lands before later ecological changes and management shifts altered the landscape.
