2016 Map of Breckenridge

About this map

Breckenridge serves as the focal point of this high-altitude survey, where the township meets the extensive outdoor recreation infrastructure of the Breckenridge Ski Area. The landscape is a complex network of historic mining legacy and modern preservation, featuring the Breckenridge Masonic Cem and Valley Brook Cem near the town's northern edge. The Blue River drainage dictates the topography, flowing through Goose Pasture Tarn and past several named gulches and hills that recall the area's prospecting roots, such as Gibson Hill and Barney Ford Hill. High-country engineering is evident in the presence of the Quandary Tunnel and Hoosier Pass Tunnel at the southern limits. Along the western divide, peaks like Crystal Peak and Father Dyer Peak overlook a chain of alpine water bodies including Upper Crystal Lake and the Mohawk Lake group, all connected by an intricate system of paths like the Wheeler National Recreation Trail.
