About this map

Avon and its surrounding mountain developments are captured here in a period of significant recreation-driven growth. The map illustrates the transition from the high-altitude valley floor to the prominent peaks of New York Mountain and Grouse Mountain, deeply integrated within the White River National Forest. While the northern section focuses on the resort infrastructure of Bachelor Gulch Village and Beaver Creek Village, the southern and western portions reveal a landscape defined by an intricate network of water management and alpine trails.

Legacy irrigation systems such as Lut-Hopper Ditch, Creamery Ditch, and Bert Siddel Ditch crisscross the gulches, pointing to the area's agricultural history before the rise of the Beaver Creek Ski Area. High-country water bodies like Rainbow Lake, Boot Lake, and Upper Turquoise Lake are accessible only by specialized routes, including the Turquoise Lake Trail 2109.1 and West Grouse Creek Trail 2129.1. The presence of the Baryeta Cabins near Bowman Gulch offers a specific point of interest for local historians tracing early mountain dwellings.
