2016 Map of Clark Peak

About this map

Bockman Lumber Camp and Willey Lumber Camp mark the industrial history of this high-altitude landscape along the boundary of the Roosevelt National Forest and Routt National Forest. Rising high above the timberline, Clark Peak and Cameron Peak anchor the Medicine Bow Mountains, a region defined by its rugged crests and vital water sources like the Michigan River and Joe Wright Creek. The map documents a complex network of seasonal access, including the Yurt to Yurt Winter Access Trail and the Grass Creek Yurt Summer Access. Engineers and hydrologists can trace the path of the Michigan Ditch and Upper Michigan Ditch as they navigate the steep terrain near Montgomery Pass. From the quiet alpine waters of Kelly Lake to the controlled storage at Joe Wright Reservoir, this 2016 survey details the intersection of recreation, timber heritage, and water management at the Continental Divide.
