1994 Map of Westcreek

About this map

The South Platte River carves through the north-central portion of this landscape, its path mirrored by the South Platte River Road near the settlement of Deckers. This area, within the Pike National Forest, shows a transition from river-bottom activity to high-altitude landmarks. Significant topographic features like Thunder Butte and Platte Peak dominate the skyline, while smaller geological markers such as Bell Rock and Sheep Nose provide orientation in the southern reaches. Recreational and communal sites are well-documented, including the Shady Brook Camp (YMCA), Grandview Resort, and the community of Westcreek. The map also captures several drainages like Horse Creek and Trout Creek feeding into the main river system, alongside a local Quarry that suggests the area's small-scale industrial history. It serves as a detailed record of the intersections between the Jefferson, Douglas, and Teller county lines during the late twentieth century.
