1984 Map of Wolf Creek Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Continental Divide crests through this high-elevation mountain terrain in southern Colorado, marking a significant hydrological and geographical boundary between the Rio Grande National Forest and San Juan National Forest. By the mid-1980s, the area had become a established recreation and transportation corridor, centered on the famous Wolf Creek Pass. The landscape is defined by its deep alpine drainage systems, including the East Fork San Juan River and Wolf Creek, which flow through steep valleys below peaks like Treasure Mountain and Alberta Peak. Modern infrastructure is evident alongside the natural topography, notably the Wolf Creek Pass Ski Area and the Alberta Park Reservoir. Landmarks such as Lobo Overlook, the Snow Shed, and the distinctive rock formations known as The Bootjack and The Clamshell highlight the mixture of human utility and geological prominence found at this high-altitude pass.
