About this map

Antero Reservoir dominates the high-altitude basin of South Park in this 2019 survey, serving as a focal point for the South Fork South Platte River and several tributary streams like Salt Cr and Buffalo Cr. The map captures a high mountain landscape defined by the intersection of US Highway 285 and Highway 24 at Antero Junction. This intersection marks a critical pass through the Pike National Forest and San Isabel National Forest, which cover the western and southern reaches of the quadrangle.

Historical remnants of the region's transportation history are visible in the Midland Bike-Trail, which traces the former route of the Colorado Midland Railway toward Trout Creek Pass. Small settlements and named locations such as Haver and Chubb Park underscore the sparse, ranching-oriented land use of the area, while features like Kaufman Ridge and Kaufman Pasture provide specific landmarks for researchers studying local geography and land ownership patterns along the Park Co Chaffee Co border.
