1970 Map of Vail East

USGS Topo · Published 1983

About this map

Gore Creek flows through the southern corridor of this high-altitude landscape, marking the early expansion of Vail as it began its transformation into a major destination. The development of the Gore Golf Course and the settlement at Bighorn contrast with the primitive alpine wilderness of the Gore Range immediately to the north. A network of high-country access routes, including the Booth Pack Trail and Pitkin Pack Trail, leads upward from the valley floor toward glacial features like Booth Lake and Pitkin Lake. The map illustrates the convergence of recreational development and protected wilderness, split between the Arapaho National Forest and White River National Forest, during a period of significant growth for the Eagle County resort community.
