About this map

Dawson Butte stands as a central geographic anchor in this Douglas County landscape, surrounded by a transition from forested foothills to developing residential corridors. The map documents the residential patterns of Monte Vista Estates and the established settlements of Larkspur and Perry Park, the latter of which features the Perry Park Airport and the Wauconda Reservoir. Water management is evident through features like the Benjamin Quick Ditch and the winding paths of W Plum Cr and E Plum Cr.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the location of the Glen Grove Cem and the proximity of the Pike National Forest boundary. The map illustrates the 2016 layout of communities such as Tomah and the southern reaches of Castle Rock, showing how transportation arteries like Wolfensberger Rd and the Plum Creek Pkwy connect these high-elevation terrain features like Hunt Mtn and Hog John Gulch.
