2013 Map of Elevenmile Canyon

About this map

The South Platte River carves through the center of this landscape, anchoring a terrain defined by deep gulches and high ranchlands within the Pike National Forest. This 2013 survey illustrates the developed recreation and seasonal living patterns in Park County, featuring the Elevenmile Canyon Reservoir and its associated campgrounds such as Cove Campground and Reservoir Campground. Historically significant markers like Lone Chimney and the Rocky Cem near Abell Ranch provide tangible links to early homesteading and ranching life. The transition from large family holdings like Lewis Ranch and Hartsel Ranch to seasonal communities is evident at Sleeping Tom Summer Homes, while the rugged topography of the Puma Hills and Elevenmile Canyon remains largely preserved as public forest land.
