2019 Map of Bailey

About this map

The North Fork South Platte River carves a central path through this section of the Pike National Forest, where high-elevation settlements like Bailey and Insmont trace the canyon floor. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, with peaks such as Crooked Top Mtn, Grouse Mtn, and Mt Bailey rising above a network of deep drainages including Quiner Gulch, Roland Gulch, and Corbin Gulch. This 2019 survey documents the modern footprint of communities like Will-O-The-Wisp and Wandrest Park against the backdrop of the Colorado Front Range. For local historians, the map preserves the locations of several burial sites, including Horn Cem, Pine Gulch Cem, and Glen Isle Point Cem. The presence of Estabrook, Cliffdale, and Crossons further east highlights the corridor's long-standing role as a series of mountain outposts along the river and the Co Rd 43 transport route.
