1955 Map of Coalmont

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The high-country ranching and mining hub of Coalmont anchors this mid-century survey of North Park, Colorado. The landscape is defined by an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Staples Ditch No 1, Nairn Ditch, and Mutual Ditch, which support numerous family-named operations such as the Wamsley Cattle Ranch, Mellen Ranch, and Trownsell Ranch. The Union Pacific railroad corridor cuts through the territory, passing the settlement of Hebron and providing essential transport for the region's extractive industries, evidenced by several Coal Mines and an Open Pit Mine. To the south, the terrain rises toward Pole Mountain, where the Fuller Reservoir and its spillway manage the flow of mountain runoff. The presence of the Spicer Sch near the Eureka Ditch highlights the dispersed but established rural community during this era of intensive land and water management.
