About this map

Devils Head and the surrounding Rampart Range dominate this 2019 survey of the Pike National Forest in Douglas County. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent granite outcrops and summits, including Elephant Rock, Gott Mtn, and Turtle Mountain. Small residential pockets and retreats are scattered throughout the montane environment, most notably the community of Sprucewood and the Shamballah-Ashrama.

A complex network of drainages such as Bear Cr and the various forks of Garber Cr carve through the terrain, while fire access and forest roads like Devils Head Spur and Dakan Rd Exn provide the primary transit through the steep topography. Genealogists and local historians can trace the development of rural Douglas County mountain settlements, from the northern enclave of Moonridge down to the remote reaches of Seifers Gulch and Dutch Fred Gulch.
