About this map

Sprucewood and the high ridges of the Pike National Forest define this 2013 topographic survey, where a complex network of forest roads and trails connects small mountain communities and isolated ranches. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic elevation of Devils Head, topped by the Devils Head Lookout and surrounded by recreational sites like Topaz Point Picnic Area and Devils Head Campground. Notable for its mixture of spiritual retreats and working land, the map shows Shamballah-Ashrama east of the numerous drainages including Middle Garber Creek and South Garber Creek.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family-named landholdings such as Bear Mountain Ranch, Pineview Ranch, and the Hy-Way Hereford Ranch. The transition from the rugged gulches like Dutch Fred Gulch to the more developed edges of Perry Park illustrates the diverse use of Douglas County land, from high-altitude youth camps at Silver State Youth Camp to the established picnic grounds at Cabin Ridge Picnic Area.
