About this map

The South Platte River carves its way through the dramatic landscape of Pike National Forest, defining the geography of the Elevenmile Canyon region. This 2019 survey captures the rugged drainage network surrounding the Elevenmile Canyon Reservoir and the Wagon Tongue Reservoir. The terrain is characterized by complex gulches like Messenger Gulch and Corduroy Gulch, which cut through the Puma Hills and descend from the heights of Stoll Mtn.

Evidence of historical passage and early land use persists in the presence of the Midland Trail and the solitary Rocky Cem, situated north of Adamans Cr. The map details a network of forest roads, including Co RD 98 and Thirtynine Mile Rd, which provide access to these high-altitude landscapes and the scenic Overlook above the river. This documentation serves as an essential reference for understanding the modern hydraulic management and preserved natural spaces of Park County.
