1962 Map of West Fork Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Sierra Madre peaks and the high-altitude terrain of the Continental Divide dominate this 1962 landscape within the Routt National Forest. The map documents a rugged watershed defined by the West Fork Encampment River and its headwaters at West Fork Lake, situated near the Jackson and Routt county line. The area's mid-century management is visible through a network of specialized routes, including a Stock Driveway, a Fireline, and numerous Pack Trails and Jeep Trails that provided access to remote locations like Manzanares Lake and Sanchez Lakes. This survey was conducted as part of the Department of the Interior's development program for the Missouri River Basin, capturing the geography of high-country basins such as Big Red Park and West Fork Meadows before the expansion of modern forest infrastructure.
