1956 Map of Guffey NW

About this map

The South Platte River winds through the northern portion of this high-altitude landscape, marked by a complex network of ditches and the conspicuous Old Railroad Grade that follows the river's path. This mid-1950s survey captures a transition in the ranching history of Park County, clearly noting once-active sites like the Richardson No 2 Ranch (Aban'd) and Richardson No 1 Ranch (Aban'd) as no longer in use. The rugged topography is defined by major drainage systems like Buffalo Gulch and Threemile Creek, which cut between the prominent heights of Sulphur Mountain and Spinney Mountain. The presence of the Palat-Howe Ranch near the river suggests the continued importance of water access for livestock in this terrain during the mid-century era.
