About this map

Clark Peak dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Jackson and Larimer counties, where several major wilderness and forest boundaries converge. The area’s late 20th-century character is defined by its transition from industrial resource extraction to state-managed recreation and conservation. Evidence of the timber era remains at the Bockman Lumber Camp, while the administrative presence is marked by the State Forest Headquarters and the Ranger Lakes area.

Hydrological networks are dense here, with the headwaters of the North Fork Canadian River and the Michigan River carving through the mountains. Recreational and residential outposts like Seven Utes Lodge and the Preachers Cabin sit among the many high-country lakes, including Jewel Lake and Kelly Lake. The eastern edge is defined by the Neota Wilderness and the steep slopes of the Never Summer Mts near Cameron Pass.
