1956 Map of Whiteley Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1958

About this map

The Continental Divide snake-crawls across this mid-century survey of the Rabbit Ears Range, marking the high-altitude boundary between Grand and Jackson counties. This landscape is defined by its working ranches and seasonal watersheds, where the headwaters of Muddy Creek and Lindsey Creek carve through the mountain terrain. Scattered agricultural operations like Haworth Ranch and Ritschard Ranch show the reach of high-country ranching in the 1950s, supported by local infrastructure like the Muddy Valley Sch. The topography is punctuated by uniquely named landmarks such as Grannys Nightcap and Grannys Nipple, while the higher elevations are protected within the Routt National Forest. This mapping effort was conducted as part of the Department of the Interior program for the development of the Missouri River Basin, capturing the area just before the widespread modernization of mountain access roads.
