About this map

The San Isabel National Forest dominates this landscape, where the high-altitude terrain of Custer County is carved by an intricate network of waterways like South Newlin Creek and Hardscrabble Creek. This 1994 revision reflects a mid-1990s view of the region, emphasizing its status as a corridor for recreational and historical travel along the Frontier Pathways and Historic Byway.

Evidence of earlier mountain life is anchored by the Silver Park Sch near Bettis, and the settlement of Ilse situated along Oak Creek Road. The map tracks several peaks including Stall Mountain and Adobe Peak, while naming localized features like Mc Kenzie Junction and Rattlesnake Gulch. The presence of a Gravel Pit near Riggs Gulch points to small-scale resource extraction amidst the protected forest lands.
