About this map

Davis Peak stands as the central topographic focal point in this high-altitude landscape where the Park Range and Sierra Madre converge. The terrain is defined by a series of high-elevation basins known as parks, including Damfino Park, Buffalo Park, and Stump Park, which serve as drainage points for an intricate network of alpine waterways. These streams, such as Davis Creek and Beaver Creek, feed into the north-flowing Encampment River, a system historically significant for early surveying and timber interests.

Water features are abundant across the southern portion of the sheet, where Seven Lakes, Gem Lake, and Lake Eileen are clustered near the dramatic drop of Big Creek Falls. This 2011 survey documents the established backcountry infrastructure of the Routt National Forest, including the Beaver Creek Campground and a network of forest service routes. The landscape transitions from the high peaks of Buck Mountain and Red Elephant Mountain down to the riparian zones of Encampment Meadows, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Continental Divide region.
