About this map

Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument anchors the eastern portion of this map, protecting a landscape where ancient geology meets modern recreation. The settlement of Florissant sits near the crossing of Twin Cr, while further northwest, the community of Lake George serves as a gateway to the South Platte River and the expansive Pike National Forest. The geography is defined by prominent elevations such as Crystal Peak and Blue Mtn, with the Park Co Teller Co boundary bisecting the terrain.

Local history is preserved at the Florissant Cem and Lake George Cem, which stand as markers of early settlement in these high basins. The drainage of Grape Cr and the waters of the Joe Wilson Recreation Reservoir provide a look at how water management and natural heritage coexist in this part of the Rockies. A dense network of forest roads and trails, including Trail Creek Rd and the Hardrock Trl, illustrates the ongoing usage of these public lands for transit and exploration.
