About this map

Turkey Creek and its many branches carve a complex network of canyons and gulches through this Jefferson County terrain, anchoring long-standing communities like Indian Hills and the unique roadside attraction of Tiny Town. The landscape is a study in diverse land use, where established residential enclaves like Willow Springs and Bellevue Acres sit near the prominent geological Hogback.

Evidence of the region's mineral history is visible in the scattered workings of the Bigger Mica Mine, the Iowa Gulch Pegmatite Mine, and the Union Mica Lode Mine near Homewood Park. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the series of reservoirs including Bergen Number 4 and Bergen East, which feed into the local irrigation and supply systems. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive peaks such as Yegge Peak and Sampson Mountain, while the Ault Cemetery provides a specific point of interest for those tracing local family histories.
