2013 Map of Sand Creek Pass

About this map

Roosevelt National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Colorado and Wyoming, centered on the prominent elevation of Bull Mountain. The map details a complex hydrological network where the headwaters of Shell Creek, Bull Run Creek, and Sand Creek carve through the terrain. A notable cultural landmark is the Roy Sweetland Grave, located near the intersection of the national forest boundary and Bull Mountain Rd. Evidence of water management in this arid mountain environment is seen in the Wilson Ditch and the Jimmy Creek Spring. Geological features like Chimney Rock and Boulder Ridge define the ridgelines, while Sand Creek Pass serves as a natural crossing point for the various primitive roads and trails, including W Co Road 80C, that navigate the slopes.
