1956 Map of Elkhorn

About this map

Elkhorn Ranch and the nearby Elkhorn Community House serve as the primary human touchpoints in this high-altitude Park County landscape. Mapped in the mid-1950s, the terrain is defined by dramatic water-sculpted features like Sevenmile Gulch and Indian Gulch, which drain the eastern slopes. To the west, the topography shifts toward the broad expanse of The Basin, where Playa Lakes suggest a seasonal hydrological cycle unique to this arid upland environment.
