About this map

Divide stands as a focal point of this high-elevation Colorado survey, situated at the historical gateway of Ute Pass. The surrounding landscape is defined by the protected acreage of the Pike National Forest and the scientific significance of the Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument along the western edge. This area, historically a hub for travelers and early homesteaders, is marked by a complex network of named ridges and gulches, including Revenuer's Ridge and Stone Gulch.

Water resources are prominently detailed through various reservoirs and ponds such as Shadow Lake Reservoir, Burgess Reservoir Number 1, and School Pond, reflecting the essential role of water management in this arid mountain environment. Local history is anchored by the Divide Cem and the residential growth of neighborhoods like Mohawk Hts and Pinaceae Hts. The map reveals the intricate terrain from the Granite Hills to the peak of Raspberry Mtn, providing a precise look at the geography of Teller County during this period.
