1970 Map of Vail Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Eagles Nest Wilderness and the Gore Range dominate this high-altitude landscape along the boundary of Eagle and Summit counties. Mapped just as Interstate 70 was transforming mountain travel, the survey shows the modern highway infrastructure alongside older high-country routes like Shrine Pass Road and the Colorado Trail. A notable industrial detail is the Tenmile Pipeline, which follows the southern drainage of Tenmile Creek, while a Runaway Truck Ramp on the descent from Vail Pass highlights the engineering challenges of the era.
