About this map

California Park and the high elevations of the Routt National Forest define this landscape in the Elkhead Mountains. The map is centered on a series of prominent peaks, including the namesake Pilot Knob, Round Mountain, and the heights of Sand Mountain and Saddle Mountain along the northern boundary. These landmarks rise above a network of drainages such as Armstrong Cr, Day Cr, and Smith Cr that feed into the larger river systems of the region.

Evidence of early mountain life is preserved at the Deep Creek Cem, located near the southern edge of the quadrangle along Deep Cr. The terrain is marked by significant geological formations, from the steep Devils Slide and Anthracite Ridge to the high plateaus of the Rim Rocks. The sparse road network, featuring CO Road 242 and Park Rd, highlights the isolated nature of this high-country terrain.
