About this map

Wheatland lies in the southeastern corner of this map, situated in a landscape where the boundary of Broadwater and Jefferson counties divides the high-elevation terrain. The topography is dominated by the prominent peak of Lone Mountain in the northeast, with a network of drainage features including Salt Gulch and Spring Creek etching through the foothills. A system of high-country roads, such as Lone Mountain Rd and Old Boulder Rd, indicates the established transport routes through these mountain passes. This digital-era survey illustrates the spatial relationship between the small settlement of Wheatland and the surrounding wilderness areas, showing how the local road network follows the natural contours of the gulches and ridges of the northern Rocky Mountains.
