About this map

White River National Forest and parts of the San Isabel National Forest and Pike National Forest converge here, centered on the high-altitude divide between the Tenmile Range and the Mosquito Range. The landscape is dominated by mining-era names and water management features like the Clinton Gulch Dam Reservoir and the Chalk Mountain Reservoir. The Continental Divide snakes across the peaks, followed by the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl, which offers a throughway over Jacque Peak and past Searle Pass.

Evidence of historical alpine industry is visible in the numerous ditches, such as Clinton Cr Ditch and Fremont Ditch, designed to move water through the high valleys of Tenmile Creek and the E Fork Eagle River. Named summits like Carbonate Hill and Gold Hill hint at the mineral-rich history of this section of the Tenmile district, while the rugged Jacque Ridge and Tucker Mtn define the drainage basins of the surrounding national forests.
