About this map

Antero Reservoir dominates the northeastern landscape of this high-altitude basin, where the South Fork South Platte River feeds into the expansive storage facility. This 2016 survey captures the intersection of public lands at the border of Pike National Forest and San Isabel National Forest, a region defined by its ranching heritage and water management infrastructure. Local landmarks like Kaufman Ridge and Kaufman Pasture reflect the family-named geography typical of this part of Park County, while the crossing at Antero Junction remains a critical transit point.

The map reveals a dense network of specialized road names in the southeastern quadrant, including Lariat Loop, Wagon Wheel Rd, and Stagecoach Rd, suggesting contemporary residential development themed around the area's frontier past. In contrast, the northern reaches near Haver and Deadman Gulch maintain a more open, riparian character along Salt Cr and Buffalo Cr. This document provides a clear record of the transition between protected wilderness and managed ranchlands in the Colorado high country.
