About this map

The Wet Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape on the boundary of Custer and Huerfano counties. Centered on the prominent summit of Deer Peak, the terrain is defined by a complex network of drainages and open mountain parks used for high-country grazing. Features such as Junkins Park, Antelope Park, and South Hardscrabble Park suggest a long history of seasonal land use within the San Isabel National Forest.

Modern landmarks like the Abbey Summer Camp near Middle Creek sit alongside natural features named for early families and geography, including Roger Gulch, Elmer Canyon, and Jones Gulch. The map captures the infrastructure of the early 21st century, with remote mountain roads like Ophir Creek Road and Colorado Road 358 providing access to peaks such as Wixson Mountain and the distinctively named Gobblers Knob.
