2019 Map of Saddleback Mountain

About this map

Idaho Springs sits at the northern edge of this high-elevation survey, where Clear Creek carves a path toward Clear Creek Canyon. The terrain is defined by the massive peaks of the Arapaho National Forest, including Saddleback Mtn and Santa Fe Mtn, which separate the watershed of the main creek from the intricate drainage of Beaver Brook. The map reveals a landscape of modern residential developments like Echo Hills and Pine Valley that have integrated into the steep topography of the Front Range. Notable for recreation and local history, the area includes the Scott Lancaster Memorial Trail and the Central City Pkwy, connecting the mining-era legacy of the canyon floor to the high ridges of Bergen Peak. Smaller settlements like Brookvale and Rosedale anchor the southern valleys near Bear Cr, illustrating the continued habitation of these mountain corridors.
