1913 Map of Castle Rock

Rural life in the early twentieth century is meticulously documented through a network of country schools and small stops, many now lost to time. Features like the Castlewood Reservoir, the Bear Canyon Church, and the Fonder School suggest a settled agricultural community established well before modern suburban expansion. Further south, the map captures the resort-like character of Palmer Lake and Glen Park, where the railroad provided access to the high-altitude landscape near Mt Hermon.
