About this map

Pikes Peak anchors this high-altitude landscape where Teller and El Paso counties meet within the Pike National Forest. The map documents a complex water management system essential to the region, featuring high-mountain catchments like Manitou Reservoir, Big Horn Reservoir, and the Cripple Cr Reservoir Number 2. Engineering feats are evident in the underground connections of the Strickler Tunnel and Saint John Tunnel, which move water through the granite massif.

A network of historic paths, including the renowned Barr Trail 620 and Severy Creek Trail 661, crisscross the peaks and basins, leading to landmarks such as the Summit House. The terrain transitions from the rock formations of The Crags to alpine meadows at Bull Park and Elk Park. This survey captures the intersection of recreation and utility, where public lands support both seasonal visitors at The Crags Campground and the year-round infrastructure required for mountain water storage.
