1954 Map of Deckers

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The South Platte River winds through the heart of this mid-century survey, defining the rugged boundary between Jefferson and Douglas counties. The settlement pattern of the 1950s is remarkably dispersed, focused on small riverfront locations and isolated high-altitude ranches. Notable landmarks include the Long Scraggy Ranch and Swayback Ranch, alongside the fishing and recreation hub of Deckers. The river corridor is dotted with specialized sites like Oxyoke, the Platte River Campground, and Trumbull, reflecting the area's transition into a destination for outdoor enthusiasts from the Front Range. Further into the uplands, the landscape is marked by distinctive terrain features such as Long Scraggy Peak, the Noddle Heads, and Bear Mountain. Resource extraction is subtly present through a inactive mine and another mine near the northern boundary, while recreational sites like the Top of the World Picnic Ground suggest the growing importance of the Pike National Forest.
