2019 Map of Dicks Peak

About this map

Pike National Forest dominates the landscape of this high-elevation Park County region, where the terrain is carved by a complex network of drainages and seasonal watercourses. The high point at Dicks Peak overlooks a series of deep valleys including Buffalo Gulch, Sheep Gulch, and Long Gulch. This 2019 survey reveals a highly developed grid of forest access roads and named trails, such as Black Beaver Rd, Pitchfork Rd, and Taos Trl, which provide entry into the backcountry from Co Rd 108. The hydrology is defined by numerous small creeks, with Currant Cr flowing through the significant Currant Creek Pass in the northeast, and the waters of Agate Cr and Little Agate Cr feeding the western slopes. These named paths and waterways trace the contemporary use of the land for recreation and resource management within the national forest system.
