1977 Map of Trappers Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Trappers Lake and its surrounding high-altitude plateaus define this 1970s topographic study of the White River National Forest and Routt National Forest boundary. The landscape is characterized by the massive Flat Tops volcanic formation, which creates a series of steep escarpments and dramatic landmarks like the Chinese Wall and the Amphitheatre. Human presence is minimal, centered primarily on the Trappers Lake Campground and an extensive network of pack trails that weave through the wilderness to reach remote water bodies such as Wall Lake, Island Lake, and Mackinaw Lake. This map records the drainage patterns of the South Fork White River and Derby Creek, capturing a high-country terrain where travel was dictated by the gaps between peaks like Trappers Peak and Shingle Peak before more modern infrastructure reached deep into these protected lands.
