About this map

Dawson Butte rises as the central landmark of this Douglas County landscape, surrounded by a complex system of water management and rural residential growth. The drainage of W Plum Cr is heavily engineered with numerous ditches, including the Ratcliff Plum Cr Ditch and the Benjamin Quick Ditch, illustrating the area's agricultural and hydrologic history. In the southwest corner, the edges of the Pike National Forest meet the community of Perry Park, where the Waucondah Reservoir and Hog John Gulch define the transition from open range to the front range foothills.

Along the eastern corridor, the town of Larkspur and the settlement at Tomah sit adjacent to the transport lines, while the Glen Grove Cem provides a point of interest for genealogists tracing local families. The northern section near Castle Rock shows more modern residential development like Monte Vista Estates, contrasting with the more traditional ranching topography found near Hunt Mtn and Glade Gulch.
