About this map

Floyd Peak stands as the central topographic anchor in this portion of the Routt National Forest, overlooking a complex system of alpine drainage basins. The landscape is defined by the headwaters of the Elk River and the branching network of Roaring Fork Cr, where numerous high-altitude water bodies cluster in the southeastern corner. These include Luna Lake, Fish Hawk Lake, and Snowstorm Lake, indicating a glaciated terrain characterized by cirque basins and ridges like Burn Ridge.

Historically, the presence of the Chilton label and the Red Dirt trail system suggests early forest management and grazing access points within the national forest. The map captures a wilderness area predominantly shaped by its hydrology, from the steep descent of Bear Canyon to the winding course of Reed Cr and Mill Cr. This 2019 survey documents a landscape where natural resource preservation and mountainous terrain dictate the absence of permanent modern settlements.
