2011 Map of Pikes Peak

About this map

Pikes Peak anchors this high-altitude landscape, where the Summit House stands as a clear landmark reached by the winding Pikes Peak Toll Rd. The area is defined by a sophisticated network of water management and mining history, evidenced by subterranean features like the Strickler Tunnel and Saint John Tunnel. Below the peaks, the settlement of Gillett and the Tracie Group Mine point to the region's industrial past, while a complex system of reservoirs—including Cripple Creek Reservoir Number 3, Bison Reservoir, and Boehmer Reservoir—illustrates the critical infrastructure required to manage water in the Colorado mountains. Dramatic terrain features such as Devils Playground, The Crater, and the Bottomless Pit highlight the physical challenges of the summit, while lower elevations like Horsethief Park and Bull Park provide a contrast to the sheer granite faces of the Front Range.
