1954 Map of Deckers

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The South Platte River carves a winding path through the Pike National Forest on the border of Jefferson and Douglas counties. This 1954 survey, with updates from 1983, illustrates the river-centric recreation and ranching life of the mid-20th century. Settlements like Deckers and Trumbull anchor the southern reaches of the map, while family-named holdings such as Long Scraggy Ranch and Swayback Ranch are situated along the valley floor. The map highlights the transition of the landscape from industry to leisure, noting an inactive mine near the northern border alongside a series of public recreation areas, including the Willow Bend Picnic Area and the Lone Rock Campground. Prominent granite landmarks like Skull Rock and the towering Long Scraggy Peak define the surrounding topography of the Front Range.
