Centerville Site
The South Platte Forest Reserve was established in 1892 to protect dwindling forests and grasslands in this area. Edwin D. Hepburn began his duties as a forest ranger in 1905. Mr. Hepburn and others used this site, known as Centerville, as a Forest Service ranger station between 1908 and 1910. Here they fought forest fires and apprehended poachers and timber thieves.
