About this map

The North Fork South Platte River carves a central path through this mid-century survey of the Front Range foothills, where the village of Bailey serves as a primary hub. The landscape is a network of historic homesteads and ranches, reflecting the area's agricultural and pastoral legacy through labels such as Lydia Ranch, Davis Ranch, and the Isham Jones Ranch. Local education and community life are anchored at the Dry Creek Sch and Pine Gulch Sch, while the presence of the Pine Gl Cem and Horn Cem provides vital points of interest for genealogical research.

Mountainous terrain features like Mount Bailey and Crooked Mtn overlook a series of small riverside settlements, including Insmont, Estabrook, and Crossons. This 1945 record, updated with 1979 inspection data, documents the early development of Wandcrest Park and the extensive boundaries of the Pike National Forest. The map also details the administrative transition where the Park County and Jefferson County line intersects the rugged topography of Crow Hill.
