About this map

Adelaide serves as a central point of interest in this high-altitude landscape of Fremont County, where the terrain is deeply etched by watercourses and canyons. The namesake Phantom Canyon creates a prominent drainage corridor alongside Eightmile Cr, a pattern echoed by the intricate networks of E Fork Eightmile Cr and W Beaver Cr. These valleys have long dictated movement through the region, as evidenced by the modern path of Co RD 67 following the natural contours of the canyon floor.

Genealogists and local historians will note the Upper Beaver Cem situated near Sugar Loaf, providing a tangible link to the area's early residents. The land use reflects a mix of preservation and recreation, including Soda Springs Park and numerous Bureau of Land Management tracks such as BLM t6101a. Rising above the drainages, significant elevations like Table Mtn and the ridges of Banta Gulch define the horizon of this Colorado mountain country.
