About this map

The town of Tabernash sits at the northeastern corner of this Grand County survey, where residential developments like Pole Creek Dr and Mountain Peak Rd meet the rugged high-elevation terrain of the Arapaho National Forest. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network, notably Pole Creek and the southern headwaters of Saint Louis Creek. This 2016 record captures the intersection of recreation and resource management, visible in the extensive trail systems such as the Tipperary Creek Trail and the managed water systems of the Sinkovits and Linke Reservoir.

A series of high peaks and ridges, including Ptarmigan Peak and Bottle Peak, form a natural spine through the center of the quadrangle. Geographic markers like Bottle Pass and Blue Ridge highlight the Divide's influence on the local geography. Significant infrastructure for water diversion is documented through the Big-Six-Ditch, which cuts across the slopes north of Crooked Creek. For genealogists and local researchers, the map provides a precise look at modern property boundaries and access roads that have replaced the earlier ranching paths of the Fraser Valley.
