1965 Map of Platte Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

The confluence of the North Fork South Platte River and the main branch defines this canyon landscape on the edge of the Pike National Forest. In the mid-1960s, the terrain shows a mix of scattered ranching, recreation, and early water management, anchored by the Reynolds Ranch and the community at South Platte. The map traces the winding course of the South Platte River as it carves through Platte Canyon, where modern infrastructure begins to appear in the form of a Radio Tower and the Strontia Spring Reservoir, the latter of which was updated in later revisions.
