1955 Map of Gould

About this map

The high country of Jackson County is defined by its ranching heritage and the headwaters of the Michigan River in this mid-century survey. Families working this landscape are recorded through numerous named properties such as Stelbars Michigan River Ranch, Haworth Ranch, and the Johnson Ranch. The small settlement of Gould serves as a local hub near the Michigan River Ranger Sta, while education in this remote mountain terrain is represented by the Michigan Hill Sch. Higher elevations are dominated by the peaks of Custer Mountain and Owl Mountain, where the boundaries of the Routt National Forest and the Colorado State Forest converge. This area also serves as a recreational destination, featuring the Aspen Campground and the Cameron Pass 4-H Club Camp near the South Fork Michigan River.
