1956 Map of Westcreek

About this map

Westcreek sits at the heart of this mid-century survey, positioned where the rugged drainage of West Creek meets the northern reaches of the Pike National Forest. The map captures a transition from the riparian activity of the South Platte River in the northwest to the high peaks of the Front Range. Prominent granite landmarks like Thunder Butte, Bell Rock, and Sheep Nose dominate the vertical relief, while the canyon floors are marked by social and recreational outposts including Grandview Resort and the Shady Brook Camp (YMCA).
