1965 Map of Ralston Buttes

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

White Ranch County Park and the rugged drainage basins of Ralston Creek anchor this mid-1960s survey of the Colorado Front Range. The landscape is defined by a dense network of gulches including Sawmill Gulch, Van Bibber Creek, and Tucker Gulch, which illustrate the complex hydrology of the eastern foothills. Evidence of early industry and land use is visible in the Claypits near Rocky Flats and the established boundaries of Centennial Ranch. Regional recreation and conservation efforts are prominently marked through the presence of Golden Gate Canyon State Park and North Jeffco Mountain Park. High points like Centralia Mountain and Centennial Cone provide topographic context for this transitional zone between the high plains and the peaks. The map also records localized infrastructure such as the Shooting Range and various prospects that hint at the area's mineral interests.
