1942 Map of Cover Mtn.

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Stahl Ranch, Wann Ranch, and the Nash Ranch anchor the northern reaches of this landscape where Park, Teller, and Fremont counties meet. This 1942 survey illustrates a ranching and mining economy defined by the high-altitude terrain of the Bare Hills and the Colorado Feldspar Company Mine. Small rural institutions like the Wilson Creek Sch and Twelvemile Sch served families scattered across the drainages of Wilson Creek and Twelvemile Creek. The map documents a network of gulches and ridges, from Hole in the Rock Gulch to the prominent Cover Mtn, showing how early settlers adapted to the complex geography of High Park and Wilson Park. These named landmarks and family holdings provide a detailed look at the occupation of this part of the Colorado Front Range before modern development altered the land use.
