About this map

The Continental Divide defines the high ridgeline of the Sierra Madre range along the border of Carbon and Routt counties. This alpine landscape, divided between the Medicine Bow National Forest in Wyoming and the Routt National Forest in Colorado, is a complex network of headwaters. Streams like the Roaring Fork Little Snake River and W Br N Fork Little Snake River descend from high meadows such as Standard Park and Fletcher Park.

Water management and grazing access are evident through features like the Hackmaster Ditch and Stock Dr, which wind through the terrain near Fletcher Peak. This area's hydrology is particularly notable, showing the transition of many small creeks, including Baby Lake Cr and Battle Cr, as they flow from the divide towards the Little Snake River basin. The map documents a sparsely populated but active resource landscape during the early 21st century.
