1959 Map of Antero Reservoir

About this map

Antero Reservoir dominates the high-altitude basin of the South Fork South Platte River, serving as a focal point for water management in the late 1950s. The surrounding landscape is a mix of ranching operations and early twentieth-century homesteading, with family names such as Adleman Homestead, Jacobs Homestead, and Parrot Homestead dotting the drainages of Agate Creek and Wagon Tongue Creek. Along the western edge, Kaufman Ridge provides a sharp topographical boundary between the Pike National Forest and the lower basin lands.
