About this map

Trump and the high-elevation terrain of Horse Park define this 1980s landscape in Park County. The map details an environment shaped by water and extraction, where numerous ephemeral and permanent sources like Birchfield Spring, Upper Pease Spring, and Dry Lakes Creek converge. A system of jeep trails provides access to several unnamed quarries and prospects scattered across the slopes, indicating active mineral exploration or small-scale mining activity during this period.

The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the northern reaches of the San Isabel National Forest, where Wagon Tongue Creek and Badger Creek carve through the foothills near Agate Mountain. The land-use pattern here is one of low-density settlement and resource management, with most named locations referring to topographic landmarks or essential water points like Little Agate Creek and Long Gulch rather than established townships.
