2013 Map of Bottle Pass

About this map

The high-altitude terrain of the Arapaho National Forest dominates this topographic study, anchored by the namesake Bottle Pass and neighboring Bottle Peak. The landscape is a network of drainage basins including Tipperary Creek, Crooked Creek, and Keyser Creek, showing the complex hydrology of the Continental Divide's western slopes. A distinct human imprint is visible through the engineering of the Big Six Ditch and Big Six Ditch Creekside Trail, alongside the Eastlake Reservoir Number 2. Recreational and travel routes are well-defined, from the Byers Creek Campground to historic passage points like Church Park. High peaks such as Ptarmigan Peak and Ninemile Mountain define the skyline, while specialized trails like the Lake Evelyn Trail and St Louis Divide Trail provide access to remote alpine basins.
