2022 Map of Jones Hill

About this map

The Pike National Forest dominates this landscape, where the high ridges of the Mosquito Range meet the vital waterways of Park County. The complex hydrography of the region is defined by the S Fork S Platte River and its numerous tributaries, including Twelvemile Cr and Rough and Tumbling Cr. Early agricultural and water management efforts are preserved through labels like Mikles Ditch and the Platte Station Ditch, which trace the movement of water across the varied terrain. Rising above the valleys are prominent landforms such as Jones Hill, Black Mountain, and the broad expanse of Long Park. The map also details numerous gulches like Watrous Gulch and Bear Gulch, alongside primitive routes such as the Sheep Creek Trl and Salt Creek Trl, which navigate the elevation changes of the eastern Rockies.
