About this map

Comanche Peak stands as the central landmark in this high-altitude landscape where the Roosevelt National Forest meets the northern boundary of Rocky Mountain National Park. This 2019 survey documents the complex drainage systems of the Mummy Range, where headwaters such as E Fork Sheep Cr and Beaver Cr flow north, while the Cache la Poudre Wild and Scenic River and its southern forks carve through the lower portion of the quadrangle.

Insight into the region's recreational and hydrological infrastructure is evident in the network of alpine trails and reservoirs. The Comanche Peak Trail and Mirror Lake Trail provide access to remote water bodies like Mirror Lake and Timberline Lake, while the Comanche Reservoir indicates managed water resources at the edge of the wilderness. The map captures a transition from forest service lands to protected national park territory, marked by significant high-country crossings including Mummy Pass and Flint Pass.
