2010 Map of Hillside

About this map

Texas Creek carves a central path through this Fremont County landscape, where the settlement of Hillside serves as a focal point for local history. This 2010 survey documents a rugged ranching and mining region, marked by the presence of the Hillside Cemetery and the specialized Lake Creek Soaringport Gliderport near the banks of Lake Creek. The area's extraction history is visible through scattered operations like the Gem Mine, Niles Mine, and the Letha Lee Prospect, all situated near the prominent heights of Democratic Mountain. The terrain is deeply articulated by numerous gulches, including Rito Gulch and Sawmill Gulch, while a network of rural routes such as County Rd-28 and Copper Gulch Rd provide access to outlying properties like the Trails End Ranch. This map reflects the contemporary landscape of south-central Colorado, balancing recreational aviation and modern homesteading with the legacy of its mineral prospects.
