1954 Map of Greenland

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The tiny settlement of Greenland serves as a focal point for this 1954 survey, situated where the Denver and Rio Grande Western RR and the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe RR parallel each other through the valley. This dual-rail corridor was critical for the local ranching economy, connecting the Greenland Ranch and Lincoln Ranch to larger markets. The landscape is defined by its prominent buttes and peaks, including Bald Mountain, True Mountain, and the isolated Rattlesnake Butte. Evidence of community life in this high-plains environment is found at the Spring Valley School and the nearby Spring Valley Cem located along Antelope Creek. An interesting piece of modern infrastructure for the era is the noted Telephone Cable (Underground) that cuts across the terrain between Carpenter Creek and Corner Mountain.
