1893 Map of Platte Canyon

About this map

The Denver South Park and Pacific RR dictates the development of this Colorado landscape, winding through the sharp turns of South Platte Canyon. Surveyed just before the silver panic and subsequent railway reorganizations, the map shows a corridor of small mountain stations such as Bailes, Estabrook, and Pine Grove that served as vital links between the high country and the plains. This era of narrow-gauge rail expansion was critical for accessing the timber and mineral resources of the Tarryall Mts.
