1956 Map of Garo

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Middle Fork South Platte River and its southern counterpart dominate this landscape in Colorado's high parkland, where an intricate network of irrigation ditches supported a robust ranching economy in the mid-1950s. The settlement of Garo serves as a central point, surrounded by historic holdings like the McDowell Ranch and Cargill Ranch. Local infrastructure is anchored by the Buffalo Springs Sch and a nearby Cem, while an Old Railroad Grade traces a path through the northern meadows. The southern portion of the map is largely defined by the Antero Reservoir, while the western edge reaches into the Pike National Forest along Deadman Gulch. This survey reveals the transition of the land as former homesteads, such as the Fourmile Ranch (Aband), gave way to larger operations and water management systems like the Guraud Ditch and Elisha Alden Ditch.
