That's something of a modern viewpoint. If you hike in the Rockies, you'll find that a lot of the bronze survey markers on top of mountains are stamped "Bureau of Reclamation". Mountainous regions weren't valued except for extractive purposes until recently. Why do you think Long's Peak and the Mummy Range were available to be converted to Rocky Mountain National Park in 1915? |
