1966 Map of Greystone

About this map

Greystone and its neighboring ranchlands occupy this high-altitude landscape in northwestern Colorado during the mid-1960s. The map illustrates a remote high-desert economy where small outposts like Whisky Springs Ranch and Tepee Ranch are connected by rugged tracks and the Douglas Mountain Boulevard. To the southeast, the terrain descends into Iron Mine Basin, while evidence of early industry appears at Smelter Hill and the Coke Ovens. The southwestern corner of the sheet is anchored by the northern reaches of Dinosaur National Monument, illustrating the transition from managed grazing lands to protected federal wilderness. Family history is subtly recorded through features like Petes Place, Tower Place, and a solitary Grave located near Daisy Spring.
