1894 Map of Castle Rock

USGS Topo · Published 1898

About this map

Castle Rock stands as the central landmark in this late nineteenth-century reconnaissance of the Front Range foothills and plains. The map illustrates a landscape transitioning from the steep grades of Mt Herman to the dendritic drainage basins of Cherry Creek and Kiowa Creek. This era of development is defined by the competing paths of the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad and the Denver and New Orleans Railroad, which carved essential transit corridors through the drainage of Plum Creek and beyond.
