About this map

Mount Pittsburg stands as the central landmark of this high-altitude landscape where the boundaries of El Paso, Pueblo, and Fremont counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of watercourses and elevation changes, notably the winding path of Turkey Canyon in the northeast and the multiple branches of Red Creek that carve through the central portion of the sheet. Modern residential growth is visible through a cluster of named roads such as Cala Rojo Drive and Tierra Rojo Drive, appearing as subdivisions etched into the slopes near Big Spruce Heights.

Further south, the landscape transitions into broader valleys and canyons, including Sullivan Park and Sullivan Canyon. Notable peaks such as Table Mountain and Wild Mountain overlook various drainages like Salt Canyon, illustrating the complex geological features of the Front Range foothills. This 2016 survey documents the region's character as it balances natural landmarks with increasing rural residential development.
