About this map

De Weese Plateau dominates the central topography of this Colorado landscape, characterized by a complex network of gulches and high parks. In the late 1970s, the area maintained a balance between its industrial mining past and its natural hydrological features. Historical extraction is evident at the Iron Mountain Mine and the Green Mountain Mine, while the southern portion of the map identifies a location simply as Democratic.

Water sources are vital landmarks here, from the northern Indian Springs and Indian Springs Park to specialized sites like Falling Rock Spring and Mow Spring. The high country is segmented by prominent elevations such as Mc Clure Mountain and Elkhorn Mountain, with drainage flowing through deep cuts like West Mill Gulch and Titusville Gulch. The boundary between Fremont County and Custer County traverses the southern edge, where Grape Creek snakes through the lower terrain near Oak Grove Mountain.
