About this map

Waugh Mountain dominates this high-elevation landscape in Colorado, where a network of gulches and creeks defines the local topography. Early 21st-century cattle ranching and recreational access are facilitated by a modest grid of unpaved thoroughfares such as County RD-12 and County RD-16, which wind through the complex drainage basins of Monument Creek and Miller Creek. The area is characterized by distinct peaks including Loco Mountain, Stoney Face Mountain, and the descriptive Snow Drift Mtn.

Hydrography in this part of the Front Range is shaped by seasonal flows through features like Long Gulch, Mullock Gulch, and Red Gulch. These natural corridors often parallel the tracks and roads that provide access to the foothills. The presence of North Tallahassee Creek and North Waugh Creek illustrates the intricate watershed system feeding into larger regional basins. For researchers and geologists, the map provides a precise look at the transition from high plains to the rising slopes of Burris Mountain and Green Mountain.
