About this map

The South Platte River carves through this portion of the Pike National Forest, defining a landscape where the boundary of Park and Teller counties meets. The settlement of Platte Springs sits near the western edge of the quadrangle, serving as a focal point for a network of historical backcountry routes including the Platte Springs Trl and Longwater Trl. This area is characterized by steep drainage systems like Metberry Gulch and Tappan Gulch, which feed into the primary river corridor.

Evidence of modern land management and recreational development is visible through the extensive naming of forest roads and trails, such as Trail Creek Rd and the Signal Butte Multi Use Trl. High elevation points like Hackett Mtn and Cedar Mtn provide the topographical anchors for this region, while the Hoder Recreation Reservoir indicates water storage and usage patterns in the eastern portion of the survey area near Turkey Creek.
