1948 Map of Platte Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The confluence of the North Fork South Platte River and the main stem of the South Platte River anchors this postwar survey, where the rugged topography of the Pike National Forest meets the engineering interests of the Denver Board of Water Commissioners. Small mountain settlements like Foxton, Critchell, and Buffalo Park are connected by winding mountain roads that follow the drainage of Kennedy Gulch and South Fork Deer Creek. These hamlets represent the early twentieth-century character of the Front Range before modern development intensified.
