2011 Map of Rock Creek Park

About this map

Rock Creek Cow Camp stands as a focal point of human activity in this high-elevation landscape of Saguache County, Colorado. The terrain is defined by a series of open meadows and basins, including Rock Creek Park, Summit Park, and McDonough Park, which are connected by a complex drainage network. Water management is evident in the southeast at McDonough Reservoir and the associated McDonough Number 1 Dam. The map details numerous named waterways such as School Section Creek, Los Pinos Creek, and Monument Rock Creek, alongside landmarks like East Spring and the curiously named Devils Hole. This 2011 survey documents a remote ranching and grazing environment where named geographic features like Porcupine Park and Pinto Basin reflect a legacy of land use and local navigation through the southern Rocky Mountains.
