2011 Map of Triangle Park

About this map

Triangle Park sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape in Garfield County, where the drainages of East Rifle Creek and West Fork North Elk Creek carve through a network of ridges and parks. The land use patterns reflect a long history of seasonal grazing and water management, evidenced by sites like Hamilton Camp and the North Elk Cow Camp in the northern reaches, as well as the Mud Spring Ranch. In the south, the terrain descends toward Coulter Lake, controlled by Coulter Dam, which serves as a recreational anchor alongside the Spruce Picnic Area and several camps including Little Box Canyon Campground. The map reveals a rugged geography defined by family-named landmarks and topographic features like Snowdrift Mountain, Irish Ridge, and the appropriately named Dynamite Lake, all connected by mountain routes like the New Castle Buford Rd.
