About this map

The high alpine crest of the Rabbit Ears Range forms the centerpiece of this 2022 survey, marking the jagged boundary between Routt National Forest and Arapaho National Forest. At the heart of the quadrangle, Hyannis Peak rises as a prominent landmark near the Continental Divide, where the legendary Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through high-altitude terrain. The map documents a complex network of headwaters, with drainages like Troublesome Creek and Rabbit Ears Creek carving deep into the slopes.

To the south, Coal Mountain stands above the valleys, while the northeast is defined by the sharp spine of Arapaho Ridge and the heights of Sheep Mountain. This modern topographic study captures a landscape primarily shaped by natural elevation and forest service access, featuring primitive routes such as the Grimes Peak Trail and the remote Lost Gulch. The intersection of Jackson and Grand counties follows these high ridgelines, illustrating how the physical geography of the Divide continues to dictate administrative and natural borders.
