About this map

Deerlodge National Forest covers this high-elevation terrain in Powell County, defined by a complex network of alpine water sources and steep ridges. The drainage patterns are particularly intricate, featuring high-mountain basins like those holding Dolus Lakes and Moose Lake, which feed into Rock Creek Lake. This water is managed and diverted through an extensive system of historical infrastructure, including the Kohrs and Bielenberg Ditch, Pauly Ditch, and Old China Ditch.

Evidence of historical land use and travel is visible in the network of forest roads and named gulches, such as Pioneer Gulch and French Gulch. The topography is dominated by significant summits and ridges, notably Pikes Peak and its associated Pikes Peak Ridge, alongside distinctive high-altitude flats like South America Park and Willow Creek Park. The map documents a landscape where natural features like Rock Creek Falls exist alongside utility corridors like the Garrison Substation Rd.
