This is a 1948 Rocky Mountain Motor Company pictorial map of Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado. A truly verdant map, famous lakes, mountain peaks, and other sites throughout are identified. Among these are Longs Peak, Bear Lake, Dream Lake, and the Never Summer Range. Cabins, lodges, hotels, and tourist accommodations are illustrated and labeled. 'World Famous Trail Ridge Road winds its way into the mountains near the Harmony Guest Ranch and reaches the Trail Ridge Museum before crossing the Continental Divide. Many of Rocky Mountain National Park's animal residents are illustrated as well, including elk, deer, mountain sheep, and a bat. Home to the headwaters of the mighty Colorado, a drop literally runs its way down Phantom Valley (it's drawn with legs and a face) on its way to Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. A view of beautiful Bear Lake adorns the right border and a stunning view of Grand Lake, the largest natural body of water in Colorado, appears on the opposite side. (more details)
