2019 Map of Cabin Creek

About this map

Arapaho National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in Grand County, where the topography is defined by a dense network of drainages and prominent ridges. The map illustrates a complex water system including Willow Cr, Drowsy Water Cr, and the various forks of Cabin Cr. High points such as McQueary Ridge and the Little Gravel Mountain Spur (Snow) provide significant relief across the terrain. Human presence is marked by resource management and recreation, evidenced by Sawmill Gulch, the Cabin Corral, and the Cabin Overlook. Access to this back-country is provided by Sheriff Creek Rd and various unpaved routes like Jeep Rd, reflecting the area's utility for forestry and mountain exploration. The transition from the peaks down to areas like Drowsy Water highlights the descent toward the headwaters of the Colorado River basin.
