1960 Map of Jones Hill

About this map

Weston Pass Ranch and the Twelvemile Club sit within this 1960 landscape of high Park County terrain, where the headwaters of the South Fork South Platte River meet a complex network of alpine drainages. The map captures a detailed hydrographic record, including the Burlingame No 3 Ditch and numerous seasonal flows like Rough and Tumbling Creek and Twelvemile Creek. Much of the area is occupied by the Pike National Forest, punctuated by prominent peaks and ridges such as Jones Hill and Black Mountain. The terrain is characterized by deep gulches, notably Watrous Gulch and Pole Gulch, which define the ranching and recreation landscape before the further modernization of the late 20th century. A lone Gravel Pit near the river indicates localized resource extraction amidst the broader wilderness and forest tracts like Long Park.
