2013 Map of Mount Big Chief

About this map

Mount Big Chief and the high-elevation terrain of Pike National Forest dominate this landscape west of Colorado Springs, where the borders of Teller, El Paso, and Fremont counties converge. This 2013 survey documents a network of mountain settlements and recreational sites, including Rosemont and Duffield, alongside facilities like the Emerald Valley Boys Camp and Broadmoor Lodge. The cartography emphasizes water management and historic travel routes through the Front Range, specifically the Gold Camp Rd and the Penrose-Rosemont Reservoir. The rugged topography is further defined by landmarks such as Cheyenne Mountain, Saint Peters Dome, and the Devils Slide. The map also captures the intricate drainage patterns of the region, tracing the headwaters of Little Turkey Cr and Little Fountain Cr as they descend from the granite peaks and high meadows like Duffield Meadows.
