1956 Map of Hackett Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The South Platte River winds through the heart of the Pike National Forest in this mid-century survey, marking the jagged boundary between Park and Teller counties. This landscape is defined by its deep gulches and significant water features, including the confluence of Tarryall Creek and the main river. Small, localized pockets of habitation like Custer Cabins and Wildhorn Ranch stand out against the high-elevation terrain of Hackett Mountain and Cedar Mountain. The map records an era of remote recreation and land management, with the Longwater Trail and Phantom Cr Trail providing access to the interior. A solitary Mine located south of Beaver Creek and the small settlement at Pulver hint at the area's mixed history of resource extraction and seasonal grazing. Numerous Beaver Ponds are documented along Crystal Creek and Hackett Gulch, reflecting the hydrology of the Front Range before more modern development.
