About this map

Pike National Forest dominates the northwestern reaches of this Teller County landscape, where the terrain transitions into a complex of ridges and drainages. The Wrights Reservoir and the Beltz Number 2 Reservoir serve as central water features, fed by a network of seasonal and perennial streams including Fourmile Cr and Slater Cr. These waterways carve through the high-elevation landscape, defining the character of places like Antelope Park and the Beasley Hills.

Tracing the local road network reveals numerous residential developments and named tracks, such as Slater Creek Rd and Sangre De Cristo Vw, which snake through the foothills. Genealogists and local historians will find the Fourmile Cem positioned along the eastern slopes of the Beasley Hills. From the high point of Dog Head to the depths of Mill Gulch, the map reveals a modern mountain community deeply integrated with its namesake natural topography.
