1970 Map of Willow Lakes

About this map

The Gore Range dominates this 1970s-era survey of high-elevation Summit and Eagle County terrain, where the crest of the range separates the White River National Forest and Arapaho National Forest. The landscape is defined by its dramatic glacial features and alpine hydrology, including the eponymous Willow Lakes and high-altitude water bodies like Snow Lake, Salmon Lake, and Slate Lake. Human activity is primarily concentrated on the eastern edge along the Blue River, where the Blue River Campground and Boulder Creek Campground provide access for recreation near the Gaging Station.
