About this map

The North Fork South Platte River carves a central corridor through this portion of the Pike National Forest, defining the settlement pattern of communities like Shawnee and Glenisle. This survey illustrates the relationship between the river valley and the surrounding high country, where drainages such as Slaughterhouse Gulch and Snaking Road Gulch descend from peaks like Derringer Peak and Crooked Top Mtn.

Genealogical and local history details are preserved in the locations of the Shawnee Cem and the Baldwin Cem near the river. The landscape is also marked by an extensive network of trails, including the Brookside-McCurdy Trl and the Payne Creek Trl, which connect the valley floors to high alpine areas like Craig Park and the Platte River Mountains. These routes reflect the area's long-standing use for both resource management and mountain transit.
