About this map

Fairview and Lion Park sit within a high-elevation landscape defined by the drainage systems of the Saint Charles River and North Creek. This 2011 survey reveals a region managed for recreation and watershed protection, featuring the San Isabel Ski Area and several public use sites like the Ophir Creek Campground and Davenport Picnic Area. The terrain transitions from prominent summits such as Saint Charles Peak and Potato Mountain into deep incisions like Dome Rock Canyon and Middlecreek Canyon.

A complex network of seasonal creeks, including Squirrel Creek and Willis Creek, carves through local landmarks such as Oak Ridge and Scraggy Peaks. The presence of named meadows like Klipfel Meadow and Simonson Meadow suggests historical grazing or natural openings in the forest canopy. Movement through the area is facilitated by established routes such as Ophir Creek Road and the Simonson Trail, which cross the Greenhill Divide to connect these high-mountain settlements and parks.
