2013 Map of Antero Reservoir

About this map

Antero Reservoir dominates the high-altitude landscape of this South Park quadrangle, where the South Fork South Platte River feeds into the expansive basin. This 2013 survey highlights a region defined by ranching history and forest management, situated at the boundary of Pike National Forest and San Isabel National Forest. The map documents the convergence of several major travel corridors at Antero Junction, where US Highway 24 meets Us-285 N. Scattered across the terrain are several established agricultural and historical holdings, such as Salt Works Ranch, J P Ranch, and Weber Ranch. To the south, the topography rises significantly toward Kaufman Ridge and the broad flats of Chubb Park, while smaller water bodies like Buffalo Creek Reservoir and Camp Alexander Reservoir mark the drainages of Buffalo Cr and Salt Cr.
