1949 Map of Timber Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1949

About this map

Camp Carson Military Reservation dominates the northeastern landscape of this 1949 survey, representing a significant period of mid-century military expansion in southern Colorado. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic drainages and peaks, including Timber Mountain and Buck Hill, which are carved by Crooked Canyon and Rule Canyon. The map reveals a transition from these high features down to the Turkey Creek drainage, where small-scale agrarian footprints like Earley Ranch and Avery Ranch persist alongside the military boundary. These family names and the presence of the Lytle Sch suggest a rural community structure that was increasingly impacted by federal land use. To the south, the El Paso Co Pueblo Co line marks the administrative divide amidst a rugged network of paths such as Lytle Road and several smaller canyons like Orchard Canyon and Sullivan Canyon.
