About this map

Glendale and the surrounding timber and mountain lands of Douglas County are captured here just after the first decade of the 21st century. The map reveals a landscape defined by the winding course of Cow Creek and the intricate network of Bureau of Land Management roads, such as BLM 33-6-26 RD, which penetrate the steep gulches and peaks. Settlement is concentrated along the narrow valley floors, where the Glendale Post Office and Glendale Masonic Cemetery mark the community's long-standing roots.

Further south, the communities of Wolf Creek, Leland, and Sunny Valley follow the path of the Interstate and the railroad, the latter notable for engineering features like Tunnel 8. The terrain is characterized by dozens of named drainages including Whiskey Gulch, Brimston Gulch, and Hades Gulch, reflecting the region's rugged geography and perhaps its mining or pioneer history. Water management is evident at Mill Creek Reservoir and Woolfolk Reservoir, which serve these mountain enclaves.
