2012 Map of Cook Peak

About this map

Cook Peak and the high ridges of the Washburn Range dominate this high-elevation landscape in Park County. The map details a complex hydrological network where headwaters like Lupine Cr and Blacktail Deer Cr descend from prominent summits including Folsom Peak and Observation Peak. To the south, the terrain transitions into a more aquatic-focused environment, centered around Grebe Lake and Cascade Lake, which feed the Gibbon River system via Cascade Cr. The absence of roads or permanent settlements in this 2012 survey highlights the area's primary character as a protected wilderness, defined solely by its drainage patterns and vertical topography. From the depths of Arrow Canyon to the winding course of Tower Cr, the map serves as a precise record of the natural geography before any modern human encroachment.
