About this map

The Buffalo Peaks Wilderness and Pike National Forest dominate this high-altitude landscape in Park County. Settled activity is concentrated in the northern reaches at the Weston Pass Ranch and the locality of Watrous, while the rest of the terrain is defined by drainage systems and mountain peaks. The South Fork South Platte River winds through the central valley, joined by tributaries such as Twelvemile Creek and Rough and Tumbling Creek.

Evidence of historical water management appears via the Mikles Ditch and Burlingame No 3 Ditch, highlighting the importance of irrigation in the region's ranching history. High-country access is documented through the High Creek Trailhead and specialized routes like the Tumble Creek Trail. Topographical landmarks include the prominence of Black Mountain and the central Jones Hill, surrounded by numerous roads marked as closed to regular traffic.
