1954 Map of Green Mountain

About this map

Pike National Forest covers much of this mid-century landscape in the Colorado Front Range, where high peaks and gulches define the topography. The 1950s survey captures a transition toward recreational and specialized land use, evidenced by the Clayton College Boys Camp and several campgrounds like Buffalo Creek Campground and Spruce Grove Campground. Industrial history is represented by the Eos Mill located near Buck Gulch, while larger bodies of water such as Wellington Lake serve as local anchors. The map traces a complex network of drainages including Buffalo Creek, Redskin Creek, and Tramway Creek as they wind between summits like Buffalo Peak and Green Mountain. Smaller settlements and private lands such as Dream Valley Ranch and Webster Park appear at the southern edge, providing specific data points for local family historians and land-use researchers.
