2016 Map of Farwell Mountain

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape in northern Colorado, centered on the prominent peak of Farwell Mountain. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages and glaciated valleys, notably Hinman Canyon and Hole-in-Wall Canyon, which feed into the Elk River system. The map documents a complex network of back-country routes, including the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail and the Hinman Creek Trail, which provide access to secluded openings like Hinman Park and Boulder Park. A distinct hydrological pattern emerges as several tributaries, including Coulton Cr and Scott Run, converge toward the Middle Fork Elk River and S Fork Elk River in the south. This 2016 survey captures the area's transition from rocky summits like Dome Peak to the meadowlands of Diamond Park near the N Fork Elk Creek, reflecting the preserved character of this wilderness area.
