1956 Map of Antero Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Antero Reservoir dominates the high-altitude basin of South Park, where the South Fork South Platte River winds through a landscape defined by ranching and early transportation corridors. The map highlights the intersection of commerce and geography at Antero Junction and along the Old Grade Railroad, which traces a path toward Trout Creek Pass. Ranching heritage is well-documented through legacy holdings such as J P Ranch, Cole Ranch, and the Salt Works Ranch, the latter located near the natural mineral source of Salt Spring. High-country transitions are evident where the Pike National Forest and San Isabel National Forest meet at the Park Co Chaffee Co line. The presence of the now-abandoned settlement of Haver and various gravel pits suggests a shift in the local economy as mid-century infrastructure evolved.
