About this map

Continental Divide hydrology and high-altitude water engineering define this 2019 survey of the White River National Forest and San Isabel National Forest border. The map documents a complex system of trans-mountain water diversion, featuring the Homestake Reservoir and the Homestake Tunnel, alongside the Charles H Boustead Tunnel and Ivanhoe Tunnel. These subterranean conduits move water beneath the peaks of Homestake Peak and Galena Mtn to supply the eastern slope.

Historical transportation routes across the divide are prominent, specifically Hagerman Pass and the Colorado Midland Centennial route near Hagerman Lake. The landscape is carved by glacial features, from the deep Longs Gulch and Saint Kevin Gulch to numerous high-elevation tarns like Saint Kevin Lake and Timberline Lake. The southern edge of the map captures the western reach of Turquoise Lake, a major component of the Fryingpan-Arkansas Project.
