About this map

The mountain settlement of Westcreek serves as a focal point within the Pike National Forest, situated near the southern boundary of Douglas County. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes and numerous drainage systems, including Horse Cr, Trout Cr, and Fourmile Cr. The terrain is punctuated by distinctive geological landmarks such as Thunder Butte, Bell Rock, and Sheep Nose, which provide clear reference points for navigation and land management in this portion of the Front Range.

Water management is evident at the J O Hill Reservoir just south of the main settlement, while the network of gulches like Schoonover Gulch and Polhemus Gulch illustrates the complex natural drainage into the larger creek systems. Highway 67 provides the primary transit corridor through this topography, winding along the valley floors between ridges like Turtle Mountain. The map detail captures the intersection of three counties—Jefferson, Douglas, and Teller—illustrating how administrative boundaries follow the high ridges of this granite-rich landscape.
