1956 Map of Whiteley Peak

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this 1950s survey of the high country straddling the Grand and Jackson County line. This landscape is defined by the sharp elevations of the Rabbit Ears Range, where prominent landmarks like Chimney Rock and Whiteley Peak tower over the drainage basins of Muddy Creek and Lindsey Creek. The map records a sparsely populated ranching district during the mid-century, evidenced by the scattered presence of the Haworth Ranch, Ritschard Ranch, and Dietrich Ranch.
