2011 Map of Casey Peak

About this map

Casey Peak and High Peak dominate this high-altitude terrain in Jefferson County, where the landscape is defined by its drainage networks and legacy of resource extraction. The area's industrial history is marked by the Crystal Creek Mine and the NW SE Section 9 Mine, both situated near the headwaters of the northern creeks. A series of designated open spaces, including Horsethief Park, Spring Park, and the uniquely named Airplane Park, are scattered among the ridges, suggesting a landscape used for both grazing and recreation. The primary corridor for access is McClellan Creek Rd, which follows the winding course of McClellan Creek. Water moves in every direction from these summits, feeding into Beaver Creek and Spokane Creek, while smaller tributaries like North Pole Creek and Sawmill Creek carve out the eastern slopes.
