1954 Map of Greenland

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Greenland sits at the heart of this mid-century landscape where the high plains meet the front range foothills. The map reveals a transition from a rail-dependent cattle economy to a more modern infrastructure, with the Denver and Rio Grande Western and Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroads carving parallel paths through the western valley. This corridor supported established operations like the Greenland Ranch. To the east, the terrain rises into a series of distinctive prominent peaks such as Rattlesnake Butte, True Mountain, and Lincoln Mountain. Local history is preserved in the location of the Spring Valley School (Abandoned) and the Spring Valley Cem, which serve as markers of the rural community that once centered around these drainages before the mid-twentieth-century revisions recorded the shift in land use.
