1954 Map of Devils Head

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Pike National Forest dominates this mid-century topography, characterized by a complex network of gulches and ridges in the Colorado Front Range. The prominent Devils Head Lookout Tower and Virgins Bath Overlook stand as critical landmarks overlooking the Rampart Range Road. This 1954 field check captures an interesting social landscape, documenting the grounds of the Brotherhood of the White Temple and Shamballah-Ashrama alongside more traditional recreation sites like Rock Springs Campground. The mapping of several private livestock operations, such as the Hy-Way Hereford Ranch and Bear Mountain Ranch, alongside the Pineview Ranch (Aband), illustrates the shifting land use from active ranching to forest service management and spiritual retreats during the post-war era.
