1954 Map of Deckers

About this map

The South Platte River carves a winding path through the Pike National Forest, serving as the primary corridor for settlement and recreation in this part of the Front Range. Small riverfront communities like Deckers and Trumbull anchor the southern reaches of the map, while Nighthawk sits further north along the canyon floor. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the river banks to prominent high points such as Long Scraggy Peak and Noddle Heads, reflecting a mid-century era of outdoor leisure and ranching.
