2022 Map of Grand Lake

About this map

Kawuneeche Valley serves as a primary corridor for the Colorado River as it winds south toward the town of Grand Lake. The 2022 landscape is defined by the meeting of Arapaho National Forest and Rocky Mountain National Park, where high-altitude landmarks like Mt Julian and Nakai Peak tower over a network of alpine lakes and meadows. Local history is anchored by the settlement of Gaskil and the adjacent Gaskill Cem, while the modern town of Grand Lake occupies the lower corner of the sheet. Significant engineering and recreation features are documented throughout, from the Alva B Adams Tunnel to the winding Trail Ridge Road and the extensive Continental Divide National Scenic Trl, illustrating the region's long-standing role as a gateway to the high Rockies.
