About this map

Wrights Reservoir and the surrounding high-altitude drainage basins of Fourmile Cr define this pocket of the Colorado front range. The landscape is a network of named canyons and gulches, including Mill Gulch and Box Canyon, where intermittent streams like Slater Cr and Dry Cr carve through the foothills. Small residential developments such as Sangre De Cristo Vw and Golden Eagle Hts are clustered in the central part of the quadrangle, while the northern reaches transitions into the protected timberlands of the Pike National Forest.

Genealogists and local historians can find the Fourmile Cem situated north of Beasley Hills. The map details an intricate system of county roads and residential lanes, such as Doe Valley Rd and Chinook Rd, that provide access to more remote landmarks like Dog Head and the open meadow of Antelope Park. This 2016 survey captures the area's contemporary rural character, balancing water management via the Beltz Number 2 Reservoir with the region's long-standing ranching and forest-service history.
