About this map

Pike National Forest covers the northern half of this high-elevation quadrangle, where the terrain is defined by Black Mountain and the prominent Bighorn Ridge. The landscape is a network of drainage systems and narrow corridors, including the waters of Thirtyone Mile Cr and Paris Cr in the northeast. The central and southern portions of the map show a more open topography characterized by Cottonwood Cr and Waugh Cr, which drain toward the settlement of Poncha Park in the southwest corner.

Transportation through this part of the Colorado high country is represented by a series of county roads and localized tracks such as Buckhorn Trl and Beaver Springs Dr. The transition between Park and Fremont counties is visible here, marked by the divide between the t15s r74w and t51n r12e township designations. This 2016 survey captures the area's modern configuration of forest service lands and rural access points like Co Rd 11.
