1983 Map of Thirtyone Mile Mountain

About this map

Thirtyone Mile Mountain and the surrounding high country of central Colorado define this 1983 topographic study, which captures the terrain at the border of Park and Fremont counties. The landscape is marked by a network of drainage features such as Currant Creek and Freshwater Creek, interspersed with numerous peaks including East Antelope Mountain and West Antelope Mountain. Of particular interest to local historians are the scattered prospects found throughout the gulches, indicating a legacy of resource exploration. Distinctive landmarks like Yellow Soda Spring and the steep elevations of Delilah Peak and Hammond Peak provide a detailed look at the geographic character of this region before modern development further altered the backcountry. The map also traces various unnamed trails and jeep roads that wind through the valleys of Paris Creek and Meadow Gulch, illustrating the accessibility of these high-altitude ranges in the late 20th century.
