About this map

Turkey Creek and Deer Creek carve through the foothills of Jefferson County in this mid-century topography. The landscape is defined by a network of ranching and early mountain residential developments, with Indian Hills and Willow Springs Ranch anchored in the north. Narrow canyons and gulches like Mica Mine Gulch and Switzer Gulch branch off from the main waterways, leading toward prominent peaks including Bald Mountain and High Peak.

Small hubs and roadside stops punctuate the travel routes, including the miniature village of Tiny Town and the clusters at Twin Forks and Glen Summit. Local education and community life are grounded at the Medlen Sch and Simpson Sch, while larger landholdings like the Ken Caryl Ranch occupy the eastern slopes. The map also records the Bergen Ditch and Bergen Reservoir, indicating the vital management of water resources within this complex drainage system.
