2016 Map of Saddleback Mountain

About this map

Idaho Springs sits at the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where the waters of Clear Creek cut through the terrain of the Arapaho National Forest. The map documents a complex network of mountain roads and residential clusters that have developed around the peaks, including Floyd Hill and the community of Upper Bear Creek. Historically significant water management is evident through a series of reservoirs such as Beaver Brook Number 2 Reservoir and Hiwan Number 4 Reservoir, which serve the growing communities in the Front Range foothills.
