1994 Map of Pine

About this map

The North Fork South Platte River carves through the heart of this terrain, anchoring a network of canyons and settlements within the Pike National Forest. In the mid-1990s, the mountain communities of Pine and Buffalo Creek served as focal points for local life, with the latter housing the Buffalo Creek Work Center. The area is defined by its dramatic relief, including the prominent granite forms of the Cathedral Spires and Banner Peak. Evidence of local infrastructure is seen in the Elk Creek Fire Station and various small residential pockets like Sphinx Park and Indian Springs Village. A legacy of resource extraction is marked by a Quarry and Gravel Pit, while the rugged north is home to Reynolds Ranch County Park. This map provides a detailed view of the rural landscape before major 21st-century environmental shifts, capturing a time when small hamlets were still connected by winding gulches and secondary mountain roads.
