1994 Map of Deer Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

San Isabel National Forest encompasses the vast majority of this high-altitude landscape along the border of Custer and Huerfano counties. The terrain is defined by dramatic peaks and divides, including Wixson Mountain and Deer Peak, the latter of which serves as a modern utility hub with the Deer Peak Communication Tower. In the northern reaches, the Frontier Pathways scenic route and the Hardscrabble Byway provide access through the mountain passes near Junkins Park. This 1990s-era survey reveals the persistent imprint of local industry and recreation, from the Abbey Summer Camp in the northeast to the scattered symbols of the region's mining heritage. Numerous labels for Mine, Mines, and Prospect are concentrated around Ophir Gulch and Mammoth Gulch, tracing the historical efforts to extract resources from the steep canyon walls and meadows like Burris Meadow.
