About this map

Pikes Peak anchors this high-altitude landscape within the Pike National Forest, marking a dramatic intersection of Teller and El Paso counties. The 2019 survey documents a complex hydrological network essential to the region, featuring high-mountain catchments like Manitou Reservoir, Boehmer Reservoir, and the Cripple Cr Number 2 Reservoir. These water management features are connected by significant engineering works, including the Strickler Tunnel and the Saint John Tunnel, which traverse the steep grades below Sachett Mtn and Windy Point.

Named geological landmarks such as Sentinel Point, The Crater, and the aptly named Devil's Playground illustrate the prominent alpine terrain. Significant transit and recreation routes are traced across the slopes, from the historic Barr trail to the modern Co Rd 81 and the Ring the Peak trail system. This map captures the modern state of one of Colorado's most recognizable summits, balancing its natural wilderness with the infrastructure required for regional water and access.
