2019 Map of Big Bull Mountain

About this map

Pike National Forest dominates the high-elevation landscape of this 2019 survey, where the border of Teller and Fremont counties meets among prominent peaks and deep gulches. The terrain is defined by massive formations such as Big Bull Mtn and Brind Mtn, while Phantom Canyon Road winds through the southern reaches of the map near Nipple Mtn. A complex drainage system feeds the regional watershed, including Middle Beaver Cr, Eightmile Cr, and the waters of Pringtime Reservoir. The map illustrates a high-altitude network of forestry roads and trails, notably the Ring the Peak trail and Gold Camp Rd, which reflect the area's legacy of mountain transit and resource management. Deep incisions like Douglas Gulch and Hopkins Gulch carve through the forested slopes, providing a detailed look at the geographic character of this section of the Front Range.
