1948 Map of Pine

About this map

The North Fork Platte River and South Fork Platte River converge within this mid-century mountain landscape, centering on the settlement of Pine. The region's transition from a ranching frontier to a recreational corridor is evident through landmarks like Z Bar D Ranch and Clise Ranch alongside specialized mountain developments such as Sphinx Park. Local life is anchored by the Elk Creek Sch and a small Cem near the riverbanks. High altitude terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Riley Peak, Banner Peak, and the Cathedral Spires. Notable water features like Crystal Lake and the winding Gooseberry Gulch feed into the primary river system, reflecting the hydrologic importance of the area managed by the Denver Board of Water Commissioners.
