1956 Map of Lake George

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument anchors the southern portion of this landscape, preserving a remarkable geologic record alongside the established mountain settlements. The community of Florissant sits at the intersection of local routes, while to the northwest, Lake George serves as a hub for both water management and recreation near the South Platte River. The map reveals the infrastructure of the mid-20th century, including an extensive Aqueduct system and a Pumping Sta that support the region's water needs. Evidence of earlier transportation networks is preserved in the Old Railroad Grade and Railroad Grade cutting across the terrain toward Twin Creek. Within the Pike National Forest, specialized sites like Camp Alexander and the Riverside Campground indicate the long-standing role of this area for youth and public recreation. High points like Crystal Peak and Blue Mountain define the horizon, overlooking a complex system of gulches and creeks that feed the South Platte.
