The source of South Cheyenne Creek is Mount Big Chief,[3][4][5] near St. Peter's Dome,[6] and it flows to Seven Falls.
[9] In the 1880s, Willie Wilcox and James Purtales dammed part of Cheyenne Creek in Broadmoor that ran through their Broadmoor Dairy property to create a man-made lake to make a more enticing environment for a hotel and casino that they were building.
Resolution of a legal suit deemed Wilcox and Purtales the water rights holders.
North Cheyenne Creek water flows into Gold Camp and South Suburban reservoirs.
[15][16] Water can be diverted by the pumping station to the Penrose Reservoir, which supplies the irrigation system at The Broadmoor.
