1954 Map of Mount Deception

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Manitou Experimental Forest dominates this mid-century landscape in the high country north of Woodland Park, showing a region dedicated to forestry research and conservation. Centered on Mount Deception, the terrain is defined by a dense network of gulches, including White Spruce Gulch and Missouri Gulch, which drain into the valley of Trout Creek. Local civic life and early settlement are anchored by the Manitou Park Grange and the Manitou Experimental Forest Headquarters, while the presence of the Sky High Girl Scout Camp and Springdale Campground highlights the area's role as a recreational retreat. To the east, the Rampart Range Road snakes along the ridgelines of the Rampart Range, providing access to the rugged interior. Civil engineering projects of the era are evident in the Lovely Aqueduct and the Woodland Park Filtration Plant, reflecting the vital management of water resources in the Pike National Forest.
