2016 Map of Shawnee

About this map

The North Fork South Platte River carves a central valley through this high-altitude landscape, anchoring a string of mountain communities within the Pike National Forest. Settlements like Shawnee and Glenisle follow the river's path, where early 21st-century topography shows a concentration of local history at the Shawnee Cem and Baldwin Cem. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from the riverbanks to the heights of Shawnee Peak and the Kenosha Mountains in the southwest.
