1957 Map of Meridian Hill

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The high-altitude terrain of the Front Range dominates this mid-century survey, where the borders of Clear Creek, Jefferson, and Park counties converge. The landscape is defined by the massive Arapaho National Forest and Pike National Forest, alongside the State Game and Fish Reserve. Human presence is largely concentrated in private mountain retreats and camps like Singing River Ranch and Our Lady of the Rockies Camp. To the south, Harris Park serves as a notable cluster of development near Elk Creek. Notable geological landmarks such as Meridian Hill, Shadow Mountain, and the prominent Lions Head peak overlook a network of seasonal streams, including the North Fork Elk Creek and Buffalo Creek. The presence of the Elk Management Headquarters underscores the region's historical focus on conservation and wildlife management during the 1950s.
