2016 Map of Indian Hills

About this map

Indian Hills and the residential enclaves south of Morrison characterize this transition between the Front Range peaks and the urban corridor. The landscape is defined by the prominent Dakota Ridge and Hogback formations to the east, which create a natural barrier for the drainage systems of Turkey Creek and Deer Creek. Settlement patterns follow the winding gulches, with communities like Homewood Park and Phillipsburg situated along narrow valley floors. Land use is a mix of protected open spaces and established residential developments, including the expansive Ken Caryl area and smaller mountain hamlets like Twin Forks and Sky Village. Local heritage is preserved in landmarks such as the Olinger Mount Lindo Cem and the Ault Cem, while the industrial history of the foothills is hinted at by features like Mica Mine Gulch. The map meticulously details a complex network of trails, including the Plymouth Creek Trail and Scenic View Trail, serving the many peaks such as Plymouth Mtn and Bill Couch Mtn.
