1954 Map of Divide
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The mountain settlement of Divide serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at a high-elevation junction where ranching and early tourism converge within the Pike National Forest. The landscape is defined by its deep gulches and significant relief, punctuated by family-named holdings like the Lone Badger Ranch and the Bessie-Helen Ranch. Evidence of earlier industrial infrastructure is visible through the winding Old Railroad Grade and the Black Cloud Mine, suggesting the area's transition from active resource extraction to a more recreational economy, further evidenced by the Golden Bell Guest Ranch.
