2011 Map of Antero Reservoir

About this map

Antero Reservoir dominates this high-altitude landscape in Park County, where the South Fork South Platte River is managed by Antero Dam and the smaller Buffalo Creek Dam. The area around Antero Junction serves as a critical crossroads, positioned near Trout Creek Pass and flanked by the dramatic elevation of Kaufman Ridge. This 2011 survey reveals a landscape shaped by both historic ranching and resource extraction, notably at the Salt Works Ranch and the Carson Mining and Development Mine. A dense network of rural roads with evocative names like Wagon Wheel Rd, Bridal Path Rd, and Pack Saddle Rd winds through the southern terrain, suggesting a modern layout influenced by the area's equestrian and ranching heritage near Cole Ranch.
