About this map

The settlement of Divide serves as a central hub on this 2013 survey of the high-altitude landscape of Teller County. Situated at a critical junction of Us-24 E, the town is surrounded by a dense network of family and guest ranches, including the Lone Ranger Ranch, Bessie-Helen Ranch, and the Golden Bell Guest Ranch. The southwest corner of the map contains a portion of the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, highlighting the geological significance of the area near Twin Rocks.

Water management and recreation are prominent features of the terrain, with Shadow Lake Reservoir, Burgess Reservoir Number 1, and the Transmission Line and Blue River Pipe Line cutting across the landscape. The rugged topography is defined by landmarks like Raspberry Mountain and the Granite Hills, much of which is protected within the Pike National Forest. Local history is preserved at the Divide Cem, while the Rocky Mountain Mennonite Camp represents more recent institutional land use in the southern reaches.
