1956 Map of Elkhorn

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Elkhorn Ranch and the nearby Elkhorn Community House serve as the primary human touchpoints in this 1950s survey of high-elevation Colorado territory. The landscape is defined by the massive The Basin to the west, separated from the deeply etched ravines of Elkhorn Gulch and Sevenmile Gulch by the prominent Mexican Ridge. This era represents a period when water management was paramount for ranching and settlement, evidenced by the named water sources like Garcia Spring, Association Spring, and Lone Tree Springs. Local infrastructure of the day is traced through the winding Ruby Road and the Aqueduct crossing the northern terrain. The presence of Playa Lakes suggests a seasonal hydrological cycle typical of the region, while landmarks like Logan Hill provided essential orientation for those navigating the gulches and ridges of Park County.
