2016 Map of Phantom Canyon

About this map

Adelaide sits at the heart of this rugged Fremont County landscape, situated along the steep winding corridors of Phantom Canyon. The area is defined by a complex drainage network where Eightmile Cr and its eastern fork carve through the high terrain. These deep canyons provided natural conduits for travel, evidenced by the modern placement of Co RD 67 and Co RD 132, which follow the ancient watercourses. To the east, the elevation rises toward Table Mtn and Sugar Loaf, while the southeastern corner reveals a more community-focused development at Soda Springs Park. Genealogists may find particular interest in the Upper Beaver Cem, which stands as a quiet marker of the families who settled this challenging canyon country. The map captures the distinct character of Colorado's front range, where isolated settlements and landmarks like Trail Gulch and Box Canyon are etched into the earth by the force of Beaver Cr and its tributaries.
