1956 Map of Cameron Mountain

About this map

Salida serves as a primary hub in the south-central portion of this mid-century survey, where the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad parallels the Arkansas River. The landscape to the north is a complex network of high peaks and gulches, including Cameron Mountain and Jack Rabbit Hill. This era shows a mix of educational and ranching activity, evidenced by the Oklahoma State University Engineering Camp and various cattle-raising outposts like Everett Cow Camp and Fehling Ranch. The presence of the Golden Wonder Mine and Whitehorn indicates the region's long-standing connection to mineral extraction, while the San Isabel National Forest boundary defines the protected timberlands. Numerous springs, such as Manoa Springs and Black Diamond Spring, are noted throughout the gulches, suggesting the critical importance of water sources in this high-elevation terrain.
