1956 Map of Hackett Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Wildhorn Ranch and Custer Cabins sit within the high-elevation terrain of the Pike National Forest on this mid-century survey. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the South Platte River and its confluence with Tarryall Creek, a region characterized by deep gulches and significant elevation changes. Local history and exploration are reflected in the numerous backcountry routes like the Phantom Creek Trail, Transfer Trail, and Cedar Mountain Road. Small-scale resource extraction is evidenced by a lone Mine located near Crystal Creek. This era of the forest shows a network of Beaver Ponds along the watercourses, highlighting the active natural hydrology before modern developments altered many of these high-country drainage patterns. The map also delineates the boundary between Park and Teller Counties as it traverses the ridges and gulches.
