About this map

Floyd Peak stands as the central landmark in this high-altitude landscape within the Routt National Forest. The geography is defined by a dense network of watercourses, including the Elk River and its various tributaries like Coulton Creek and Morgan Creek. Toward the east, the terrain transitions into the protected expanse of the Mount Zirkel Wilderness, where numerous alpine water bodies such as Luna Lake, Fish Hawk Lake, and Lake Edward are located.

Settlement is sparse in this mountainous region, with the Wapiti Ranch serving as a notable point of human activity amidst the wilderness. The map details an established system of movement through the high country, following paths like the Chilton Trail and the Swamp Park Trail along Burn Swamp Ridge. These trails and the surrounding Wilderness Boundary reflect a landscape managed for conservation and backcountry recreation at the close of the twentieth century.
