1948 Map of Cover Mtn.

About this map

Isolated homesteads and rugged mountain terrain define this 1948 survey of the borderlands between Fremont Co and Park County. The landscape is marked by a network of established family operations like Stahl Ranch, Nash Ranch, and F L Rowe Ranch, reflecting the area's mid-century ranching economy. Industrial activity is centered at the Colorado Feldspar Company Mine in the northern reaches, while the presence of the Wilson Creek Sch and Twelvemile Sch indicates small, localized communities scattered through the valleys of Currant Creek and its many gulches. The terrain is dominated by prominent summits such as Cover Mtn, Thompson Mtn, and Gribble Mountain, with open ranching lands found at Eightmile Park and Shaws Park. This map provides a detailed look at the rural infrastructure of the Colorado high country before significant modern development, capturing the original road networks and property boundaries of the era.
