Mapmaker: Shelton, Hal

Ski Country USA

1965

  • Pictorial Maps
  • Rocky Mountain National Park

    Recognized by The Library of Congress as one of the great contributors to American cartography, Hal Shelton pioneered a style he termed "natural-color maps" which assimilated his years of working of USGS and others, as well as his great skill in painting. A Colorado native, it was this map that was used by the ski industry for decades and garnered Hal a lifetime ski pass to all the resorts. Shows Denver and Colorado Springs at the base of the mountains, and all the mountains and resorts, some long gone like "Geneva Basin" or "Squaw Pass".
