About this map

Arapaho National Forest defines the character of this Grand County high-country landscape, where the peaks of the Front Range dominate the drainage patterns of the Colorado River basin. The terrain is marked by significant summits, including Corral Peaks, Searight Mtn, and Slide Mtn, which overlook deep-cut ravines like Cliff Gulch and Paradise Gulch. Water management is evident through features like the Scholl Reservoir and the Musgrave Ditch, indicating the vital role of irrigation and storage in this alpine environment.

Traditional passage through the timber and meadows is recorded by the Troublesome Trail and Haypark Trail, routes that historically connected grazing areas like Hay Park and Buffalo Park. These trails follow natural corridors along waterways such as E Fork Troublesome Cr and Buffalo Creek, providing a detailed look at the backcountry accessibility used by ranchers and outdoorsmen in the early 21st century.
