About this map

San Isabel National Forest and the Spanish Peaks State Wildlife Area dominate this section of the Colorado landscape, where steep topography is defined by a dense network of canyons and drainages. The Apishapa River and its North Fork Apishapa River cut through the terrain alongside the sharp descents of Herlick Canyon and Jarosa Canyon.

Evidence of early 20th-century settlement and family history is preserved through scattered landmarks like the Aspen Grove Sch and several remote burial grounds, including Prince Cemetery, Scott Cem, and Hicks Cemetery. The presence of an unnamed Mine and various 4wd tracks suggests a history of resource extraction and rugged access, while unique geological features like the Apishapa Arch highlight the distinct natural character of this southern Colorado quadrangle.
