2013 Map of Elkhorn

About this map

Elkhorn and the surrounding high-altitude plains of Park County are defined by a network of drainage gulches and seasonal water sources. The Elkhorn Community House stands as a focal point for the small settlement, which is anchored by the Elkhorn Ranch and supported by numerous vital water points like Elkhorn Spring and Lone Tree Spring. The landscape transitions from the broad expanse of The Basin to prominent elevated features such as Mexican Ridge and Reinecker Ridge. This area shows a distinct pattern of modern rural development, with a grid of named residential roads like Goshawk Rd and Vista Grande Dr intersecting the older ranching terrain. The presence of Playa Lakes and named ephemeral drainages such as Sevenmile Gulch and Garcia Gulch illustrates the delicate water management required in this arid Colorado environment.
