2013 Map of Corral Peaks

About this map

Arapaho National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape of Grand County, where the Continental Divide's influence is seen in the intricate drainage systems and steep gulches. Cattle ranching and mountain transit define the area's human history, evidenced by the Wheatley Ranch and East Fork Cow Camp. The map documents a rugged network of water management and recreation trails, including the Musgrove Ditch and Scholl Reservoir, which sit below the prominent heights of Black Mountain and Grouse Mountain. Numerous named trails, such as Haypark Trail 60.1 and Elk Mountain Trail 27, thread through the timber and meadows of Hay Park and Buffalo Park. Geologically, the terrain is characterized by dramatic elevations like Corral Peaks and sharp drops into Cliff Gulch and Sawmill Gulch, providing a detailed record of the Colorado Rockies' headwater geography.
