1955 Map of Kings Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

The high-country mining and ranching economy of northern Colorado and southern Wyoming is preserved here, centered on the high pass of Kings Canyon. This 1955 survey, compiled from 1968 data, illustrates a landscape defined by natural resource extraction and early cattle operations. Evidence of the region's mineral wealth is seen at the Village Belle Mine and Kings Canyon Mine, while the southern reaches of the map show the Battleship Oil Field near the North Sand Hills. The presence of the Dowell Homestead, The Horse Ranch, and Blevins Ranch highlights the scattered settlement patterns typical of this mountainous border territory.
