About this map

Pike National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in central Colorado, where numerous drainages carve through the terrain. The sheet is anchored by Dicks Peak and Threemile Mountain, providing a clear view of the complex water systems that define the region. High passes and deep gulches, such as Currant Creek Pass and the winding Buffalo Gulch, illustrate the natural corridors used for navigation through the mountains.

A single prospect in the northwest corner suggests the era's small-scale mineral exploration, while the network of named water bodies like Wagon Tongue Creek and Agate Creek highlights the essential role of riparian geography in this environment. The map details a wilderness landscape where seasonal springs and steep-walled gulches like Sheep Gulch form the primary landmarks for those traversing these forest lands.
