1956 Map of Hackett Mountain

About this map

Wildhorn Ranch and Custer Cabins anchor the high-country terrain of this mid-century survey, which reveals a landscape defined by water and forest management. The South Platte River winds through the western half of the quadrangle, joined by substantial tributaries like Tarryall Creek and Crystal Creek. This era of the Pike National Forest is characterized by its network of rugged accessibility, shown here through numerous Jeep Trails that crisscross the steep drainage systems of Metberry Gulch and Hackett Gulch.
