About this map

Snowmass Village serves as the central hub for this high-altitude alpine terrain, where the extensive trail networks and infrastructure of the Snowmass Ski Area meet the protected wilderness of the White River National Forest. The map documents a complex system of historical and modern water management, including the Elk Cr Ditch, Herrick Ditch, and Lemond Ditch, which redirect snowmelt from major drainages like Snowmass Creek and Maroon Creek.

High summits define the southern boundaries, notably Highland Peak, Sievers Mtn, and Baldy Mtn. The landscape is etched with an intricate web of named equestrian and hiking paths such as the Cozyline Trail and Skyline Ridge Trail, illustrating the area's transition from a ranching and mining-adjacent environment to a premier recreational destination. The northeast corner is marked by the presence of the Roaring Fork River, indicating the primary drainage for the surrounding basins.
