1940 Map of Castle Rock
USGS Topo · Published 1958About this map
Castle Rock serves as the central hub of this pre-war Colorado landscape, where the confluence of East Plum Creek and West Plum Creek meets the major rail corridors of the Santa Fe and Rio Grande Western. The map reveals a robust network of rural education and community life, marked by numerous isolated schoolhouses such as Gann Sch, Oakland Sch, and Glen Grove Sch. These small sites, often located at crossroads or along creek beds, suggest the dispersed nature of the ranching and agricultural economy before suburban expansion reached this part of Douglas County.
