About this map

Pike-San Isabel Village stands at the heart of this Park County landscape, where the residential grid meets the open terrain of the Pike National Forest. The map documents a sophisticated system of water management essential to this high-altitude environment, featuring the Western Ditch, Fritz Ditch, and Harrington-Rikard Ditch which channel the flows of the South Fork South Platte River. To the southeast, the Spinney Mountain Reservoir provides a major hydrological anchor, while the prominent Sulphur Mtn rises above the surrounding gulches.

Local nomenclature is preserved through distinctive landmarks like Schoolmarm Draw, Sawdust Gulch, and Muley Gulch, reflecting the area's history of ranching and resource extraction. Significant water sources such as Chalcedony Spring and the South Platte River define the natural boundaries of the territory. The presence of a Gravel Pit near Co RD 59 points to the ongoing development and maintenance of the local infrastructure during this period.
