1965 Map of Castle Rock North

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Castle Rock and the settlement at Franktown anchor this mid-1960s study of the northern Douglas County corridor, where the high plains meet the intricate drainage systems of the Front Range. The landscape is defined by the parallel courses of Cherry Creek and Plum Creek, intersected by a network of steep-sided draws including McMurdo Gulch and the ominously named Hangmans Gulch. Two major rail lines, the Denver and Rio Grande Western and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe, run adjacent to the growing communities, reflecting the region's long-standing role as a vital transportation artery. Local life is documented through landmarks like the County High School, the Drive-in Theater, and the Pikes Peak Grange, while rural history is preserved at the Fonder Cemetery and scattered resource sites such as the Plateau Quarry.
