1983 Map of Witcher Mountain

About this map

Pike National Forest encompasses the high country of Park County in this early 1980s topographic study, where the terrain is defined by prominent peaks including Saddle Mountain, Castle Mountain, and the namesake Witcher Mountain. The landscape is a network of drainage basins, with Wagon Tongue Creek and Fish Creek carving through the northern sections while Fourmile Creek dominates the central valley. A notable concentration of mining activity is evident through numerous prospects scattered across the slopes of Mc Intyre Mountain and Doe Ridge, indicating the persistent mineral interest in this portion of the Colorado Rockies. Transportation and access are limited to a handful of routes such as Thirtynine Mile Road, alongside specialized features like a rural Landing Strip and an aqueduct system, reflecting the area's transition between resource extraction and managed forest land.
