1956 Map of Antero Reservoir

About this map

Antero Reservoir dominates this high-altitude landscape where the South Fork Platte River and South Fork South Platte River converge. The mapping reveals a ranching economy established along these water sources, featuring named properties like the J P Ranch, Cole Ranch, and the Salt Works Ranch near the saline waters of Salt Creek. The presence of an Old Railroad Grade and Old Grade winding through the terrain toward Trout Creek Pass points to the area's earlier role as a transit corridor through the mountains.
