1956 Map of Dakan Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Rampart Range dominates this mid-century survey of the high country in northern Douglas County. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief and watercourses, including the network of drainage systems such as Illinois Gulch and Missouri Gulch. While largely part of the Pike National Forest, the map reveals localized industrial and recreational activity, including a Mine near Dakan Mountain and another Quarry to the south. Rainbow Falls Park and Saylor Park appear as distinct clearings or landmarks within the heavy timber. High points like Turtle Mountain and Storm Peak provide orientation for the remote trails and tracks, including the Rampart Range Road and various Jeep Trails that provided access for mid-century forestry and recreation.
