1948 Map of Cover Mtn.

About this map

Colorado Feldspar Company Mine operates near the northwestern corner of this territory, where the borders of Park and Fremont Counties meet. This mid-century survey reveals a landscape of high cattle ranching and scattered rural education, including the Wilson Creek Sch and Twelvemile Sch. Private holdings such as the Stahl Ranch, Wann Ranch, and F L Rowe Ranch are situated among a complex network of drainages including Currant Creek and Tallahassee Creek. Large mountain features like Cover Mtn, Rice Mountain, and Big Baldy dominate the skyline, while established grazing areas like High Park and Wilson Park provided essential range land for the local ranching economy. The numerous named gulches and springs, such as Hole in the Rock Gulch and Sheep Sprs, indicate a landscape where water sources were carefully identified for livestock and survival.
