About this map

The Antero Reservoir dominates this high-altitude landscape of the South Park region, serving as a primary water source fed by the South Fork South Platte River and the Aqueduct. This mid-1990s survey by the Forest Service highlights the intersection of transportation and ranching history, where the Antero Junction meets an Old Railroad Grade winding through the basin.

Evidence of earlier settlement persists in labels for J P Ranch (Aband) and Haver (Aband), alongside active operations like the Salt Works Ranch. The terrain rises sharply to the south and west toward Trout Creek Pass and the steep slopes of Kaufman Ridge. This area is heavily managed for public use and conservation, spanning portions of the Pike National Forest and San Isabel National Forest, with the Antero Reservoir State Wildlife Area protecting the shoreline.
