1954 Map of Windy Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Platte River Mountains and the Kenosha Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in central Colorado, where three major mountain systems converge within the Pike National Forest. The geography is defined by narrow creek drainages and high meadows, including Craig Meadows and the expansive Wigwam Park at the base of the Tarryall Mountains. This mid-century survey reveals a quiet ranching and retreat economy, evidenced by operations like the Sunnyside Ranch, Soderstrom Ranch, and the Sylvania of the Rockies. Human movement across the terrain is limited to a network of a Pack Trail routes and a few primitive (JEEP) roads, highlighting the isolation of landmarks like Windy Peak and the distinctive rock formation known as The Castle. The map documents the headwaters of numerous streams, including Wigwam Creek and Lost Creek, before they descend toward the Platte River.
