USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
The confluence of rail and ranching defines this mid-century landscape in Douglas County, centered on the growing community of Castle Rock. Two major rail lines, the Denver and Rio Grande Western RR and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR, parallel the course of Plum Creek, serving local shipping points at Sedalia and Louviers Sta. The map documents a period when rural schoolhouses like Gann Sch and Oakland Sch still served localized agricultural districts, and social life centered on landmarks like the Pikes Peak Grange Hall.
