About this map

The high alpine divide of the Williams Fork Mountains dominates this portion of the Colorado Rockies, where the border between Grand Co and Summit Co follows the jagged ridgeline. This landscape is a complex network of water management and high-altitude forest, split between the Arapaho National Forest and the White River National Forest. Human intervention in the arid environment is evident through early engineering features like the Big Lake Ditch, Dale Ditch, and Rohan Ditch, which redirect snowmelt through the rugged drainages.

Prominent peaks and ridges including Battle Mtn, Williams Peak, and Curtis Ridge define the local topography. The map details several high-elevation water storage sites, such as Bangholen Reservoir, Cole Reservoir, and Dale Reservoir. These features, alongside named gulches like McQueary Gulch and Johnson Gulch, reflect the area's history of ranching, water rights, and forestry. Outdoor recreation and access are marked by the Williams Peak Trl and a web of secondary routes like CO Hwy 375 and CO Rd 34.
