2019 Map of Clark Peak

About this map

The Medicine Bow Mountains and the Never Summer Mountains converge in this high-altitude landscape where the boundary between Jackson and Larimer Counties is defined by the continental divide. In the early 21st century, the area remains a hub of alpine hydrology and resource history, featuring the Upper Michigan Ditch and numerous high-country lakes like Kelly Lake and Timber Lake. The presence of the Bockman Lumber Camp and Willey Lumber Camp indicates a legacy of timber harvesting within the surrounding Routt National Forest and Roosevelt National Forest. Steep ridges are punctuated by notable summits such as Clark Peak and Diamond Peaks, while a network of specialized routes, including the Yurt to Yurt Winter Access Trail and the Lumberjack Trail, facilitate movement across this demanding terrain. This map serves as a detailed record of the headwaters for the N Fork Michigan River and the N Fork Canadian River.
