About this map

Twelvemile Club and Weston Pass Ranch sit within a high-elevation landscape defined by the drainage systems of the South Fork South Platte River and its numerous tributaries. Surveyed in the late 1950s, this area of the Pike National Forest shows a mix of recreational and ranching land use. Water management is evident through features like the Burlingame No 1 Ditch, which redirects flow across the terrain.

Prominent landforms such as Black Mountain and Jones Hill overlook a network of gulches and creeks, including Twelvemile Creek and Rough and Tumbling Creek. The presence of the Rich Creek Campground and a local Gravel Pit indicates the area served both as a seasonal retreat and a source of local materials. This survey captures a specific era of mountain resource management before modern development altered the remote character of Long Park.
