1954 Map of Devils Head

About this map

Devils Head and its prominent Lookout Tower anchor this mid-century survey of the high country within the Pike National Forest. The landscape is defined by a distinct cluster of specialized retreats and residential ranches, most notably the Shamballah-Ashrama and the Brotherhood of the White Temple situated near Gott Mountain. These spiritual and educational enclaves are joined by recreational sites like Camp Colorado, Silver State Youth Camp, and Moonridge, reflecting the area's development as a destination for seasonal residence and youth organizations. The drainage patterns of the Rampart Range are intricately detailed, showing the networks of North Garber Creek and South Garber Creek as they cut through the terrain. Significant granite formations like Elephant Rock and Bergen Rock serve as literal landmarks among the scattered cattle operations, including the Hy-Way Hereford Ranch and E-B Ranch.
