About this map

The Park Range and Sierra Madre converge in this high-altitude landscape along the border of Routt and Jackson counties. This 2019 survey documents a wilderness dominated by alpine hydrology and significant peaks, anchored by the central massif of Davis Peak. The drainage patterns are clearly defined, showing the headwaters of the Encampment River as its Main Fork and W Fork flow northward.

Elevated glacial basins hold several notable water bodies, including the clusters of Seven Lakes, the secluded Lake Eileen, and Gem Lake near Buck Mountain. The map illustrates the varied topography of high-country meadows or "parks," such as Damfino Park, Buffalo Park, and Stump Park, which break up the wooded stretches of the Routt National Forest. Long ridgelines like Buffalo Ridge dictate the flow of smaller tributaries such as Davis Creek and Beaver Creek, providing a detailed look at this undeveloped section of the Continental Divide region.
