1957 Map of Meridian Hill

About this map

State Game and Fish Reserve lands and the vast timbered stretches of the Arapaho National Forest and Pike National Forest dominate this high-altitude terrain. The landscape is defined by the convergence of several county lines, where Clear Creek, Park, and Jefferson counties meet amidst a complex network of drainages. Water flows through the West Fork Yankee Creek, Bear Creek, and Indian Creek, supporting small mountain outposts and specialized facilities like the Mt Evans Elk Management Headquarters. Settlement patterns in the mid-20th century were centered around recreational and ranching hubs, including Singing River Ranch, Harris Park, and the Our Lady of the Rockies Camp. Notable landmarks such as Meridian Hill, Shadow Mountain, and the precipitous Elk Falls provide a detailed look at the geography before further modern development reached these higher elevations.
