1956 Map of Cheesman Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Cheesman Lake serves as the central focal point of this mountainous region within the Pike National Forest, where the South Platte River is impounded by the Cheesman Dam. The landscape is a complex of high-elevation peaks and gulches, including Cheesman Mountain and the distinctive granite formation of Sheeprock. Settlement is sparse, characterized by recreational and organizational outposts rather than traditional towns. These include the Wigwam Club and the Flying G Ranch, which served as a Girl Scout camp during this era.
