1893 Map of Platte Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1941

About this map

The North Fork of the South Platte River carves a critical corridor for late-nineteenth-century transit, serving as the path for the Denver South Park and Pacific RR. Along this winding mountain grade, small settlements like Baileys, Pine Grove, and Buffalo appear as vital stops in the rugged canyon landscape. The terrain is defined by dramatic peaks and landmarks such as Thunder Butte, Devils Head, and Long Scraggy Peak, which dominate the central and eastern portions of the Pike National Forest.
