1956 Map of Cheesman Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Cheesman Lake serves as the central focal point of this mid-century Colorado survey, which captures the complex shoreline and surrounding peaks of the Pike National Forest. Managed by the Geological Survey, the map details the critical water infrastructure at Cheesman Dam where the South Platte River enters the reservoir. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including Goose Creek, Turkey Creek, and Wigwam Creek, which cut through the high-elevation terrain of Sheeprock and Sugarloaf Peak.
