About this map

The North Fork South Platte River winds through this mountainous terrain, anchoring several historic settlements including Bailey, Insmont, and Estabrook. This landscape is defined by its deep canyons and gulches, such as Arbuckle Gulch and Roland Gulch, which shaped the early development of the region. The map reveals a high density of established ranches, including the Fitzsimmons Ranch and Potter Ranch, indicating a legacy of high-country agriculture and land ownership.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed documentation of local burial grounds like Horn Cemetery and Baldwin Cemetery. Mining history is also prominent, with the Ruble Claims Mine and Hallack Mine noted on the slopes. The evolution of local transit is visible in the network of roads with names like Stage Coach Ln and Wagon Tongue Rd, reflecting the transition from early trail routes to modern residential access in communities like Wandcrest Park and Silver Springs.
