1957 Map of Squaw Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Idaho Springs occupies the northwestern corner of this 1957 survey, situated along the course of Clear Creek as it winds through the high Front Range. The landscape is defined by its significant ranching and recreational infrastructure, including the Evans Ranch Hdqrs and Dodge Ranch Headquarters. These working lands are punctuated by early mountain tourism sites like Beaver Brook Lodge and Greystone Lodge, alongside public works such as the Reservoir (City of Golden) in Beaver Brook canyon.

Transport and communication patterns of the late 1950s are visible through the Squaw Pass Road and the Radio Relay Station atop Squaw Mountain. The map details numerous smaller communities and family-named landmarks, from the Beaver Brook School to the settlement at Brookvale. This era shows a transition where traditional ranching began to share the high country with growing municipal water needs and mountain leisure, evidenced by the scattered Denver Mountain Park Sites throughout the terrain.
