1994 Map of Mount Big Chief

About this map

Mount Big Chief and the high elevations of the Pike National Forest define this landscape along the complex borders of El Paso, Teller, and Fremont counties. The terrain is a network of ridges and drainages, where the Penrose-Rosemont Reservoir serves as a central water feature feeding into the East Fork and Beaver Creek. Human activity is marked by a history of transit and recreation, seen in the winding Gold Camp Road and Stage Road. Notable settlements and facilities like Broadmoor Lodge, Emerald Valley Ranch, and the Emerald Valley Boys Camp are scattered through the valleys, while the St Peters Dome Shooting Range sits near the summit of St Peters Dome. The map also documents industrial footprints through several quarries and prospect sites, illustrating the mixed use of this high-country environment in the late 20th century.
