About this map

Balfour Mines and the settlement of Balfour anchor this section of Park County, where the high mountain landscape meets the waters of the South Platte River. The area is defined by a network of established ranching operations, including the Pabst-Howe Ranch, Richardson Number 1 Ranch, and Wiedersphan Ranch. In the northeast, the Spinney Mountain Reservoir provides a significant hydrological feature, fed by the river and the Western Ditch. The southern half of the map reveals a transition toward more modern residential development, with street names like Chickadee Dr and Cherokee Rd branching off from Comstick Rd. This layout illustrates the evolution of the land from its mineral and livestock roots toward contemporary rural habitation, while drainage features like Buffalo Gulch and Threemile Creek continue to shape the local topography.
