About this map

Arapaho National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Grand County, where drainage networks converge at the East Fork Troublesome Creek. The map documents a rugged interior accessible primarily by a network of historic routes, including the Hay Park Trail (Pack), Pack Trail, and various Jeep Trails. Human activity is concentrated around isolated outposts such as East Fork Cow Camp and the Wheatley Ranch at Wheatley Bend.

Prominent summits such as Corral Peaks, Searight Mountain, and Black Mountain overlook a complex system of gulches and creeks, including Paradise Gulch and Cliff Gulch. Geological exploration is evidenced by a Drill Hole located near the eastern boundary, while modern infrastructure is represented by the Radio Towers on a ridge south of Grouse Mountain. The concentration of named cow camps and ranches among the peaks reflects the area's historical reliance on seasonal livestock grazing and high-country ranching.
