1957 Map of Squaw Pass
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
Idaho Springs sits at the northwestern edge of this Colorado landscape, where Clear Creek flows through the steep canyon terrain of the Arapaho National Forest. The 1950s survey captures a transition in land use, showing several Denver Mountain Park Sites and the Squaw Pass Picnic Area alongside established ranching operations. Significant family and business holdings include the Evans Ranch Hdqrs, Dodge Ranch Headquarters, and the Elmgreen Ranch. To the south, the community of Brookvale and the Greystone Lodge mark the settled valleys along Bear Creek. The map also documents communications infrastructure of the era, such as the Radio Relay Station Lookout atop Squaw Mountain. This topographic study provides a detailed view of the high-altitude ranching and recreation network before further modern development altered these mountain corridors.
