About this map

Davis Peak towers over the high-country landscape of the Park Range, marking a significant point within the Mount Zirkel Wilderness at the start of the 21st century. This map traces the jagged path of the Continental Divide as it separates the Jackson and Routt county line. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems including Damfino Creek and the Encampment River, which flow through high-altitude basins like Buffalo Park and Dinner Park.

Researchers of this era can follow the historic backcountry routes such as the Buffalo Ridge Trail and Lake Eileen Trail that provide access to remote alpine waters. The survey reveals a landscape of specialized features including the clusters at Seven Lakes and the prominent summits of Red Elephant Mountain and Buck Mountain, illustrating the preservation of this protected wilderness area in the Routt National Forest.
