1954 Map of Green Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Pike National Forest dominates this mid-century survey, showcasing a landscape defined by its deep drainages and high peaks within the Colorado Front Range. High-altitude clearings like Webster Park and recreational developments such as the Clayton College Boys Camp or Dream Valley Ranch indicate how the area was transitioning into a managed wilderness for education and tourism. The hydrology of the region is centered on Buffalo Creek and its many tributaries, including Redskin Creek and Morrison Creek, which carve through the terrain between notable summits like Green Mountain and Little Scraggy Peak. In the western portion, the impoundment at Wellington Lake provides a significant water feature amidst the dense network of gulches and creeks, while campgrounds like Spruce Grove Campground mark the early infrastructure of public forest recreation in the 1950s.
