1970 Map of Vail East

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The settlement of Vail and the nearby community of Bighorn occupy the narrow valley floor of Gore Creek in this 1970s survey. The map records the early expansion of the ski area, noted by Ski Lift lines rising from the southern edge of the valley. Beyond the resort corridor, the landscape is defined by the high peaks of the Gore Range, where a network of trails like the Booth Creek Pack Trail and Pitkin Creek Pack Trail lead into the Eagles Nest Wilderness. These paths connect a series of high-altitude basins containing Booth Lake, Pitkin Lake, and Upper Piney Lake. The map illustrates the convergence of major forest boundaries, including the White River National Forest and Arapaho National Forest, highlighting the area's transition from remote wilderness to a premier recreation destination.
