1965 Map of Platte Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

South Platte River and its confluence with the North Fork anchor this mountain landscape within the Pike National Forest. The map documents a scattered network of rural settlements and family estates, including Reynolds Ranch and the community of Foxton. Land use is defined by a mix of recreation and industry, evidenced by the Top of the World Campground and the Little Patsy Quarry. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive geological features like Dome Rock and Chair Rocks, which loom over the deep South Platte River Canyon. Significant infrastructure such as the Strontia Spring and various Quarries reflect the area's development. This survey, updated with 1980s data, tracks the evolving footprints of mountain life in Jefferson County and Douglas County before more modern suburban expansion.
