About this map

Spinney Mountain Reservoir and the western reaches of Elevenmile Canyon Reservoir dominate this high-altitude landscape in the heart of the South Park basin. The South Platte River serves as the primary hydrological artery, winding through the valley floor between the Puma Hills and the slopes of Spinney Mtn. The transition from the open valley to the timbered reaches of the Pike National Forest is clearly delineated, showing a complex network of seasonal drainages including Chase Gulch, Boyer Gulch, and Pruden Cr.

Mountain road systems like Stroll Mountain Rd and High Chaparral Rd provide access to the foothills, while lower-lying routes like Co Rd 59 follow the natural topography of the basin. The map illustrates the specialized land use of the modern era, where water management for distant municipalities is integrated into the traditional ranching and timber geography of Park County, evidenced by labels like Aurora Private Rd.
