About this map

Hyannis Peak serves as the focal point of this high-altitude landscape along the Jackson and Grand County boundary. The geography is defined by the Continental Divide, which separates the drainages of the Rabbit Ears Range to the north from the southern slopes. Water management and ranching operations are visible at the Matheson Reservoir and the nearby Hendricks Ranch, highlighting the human imprint on this forest landscape at the turn of the millennium.

A network of backcountry routes, including the Arapaho Ridge Trail and Siebert Trail, provides access to the complex hydrology of the Arapaho National Forest. The presence of unnamed Mines near Coal Mountain in the southwest corner suggests a history of mineral exploration. From the headwaters of Troublesome Creek to the summit of Sheep Mountain, the map documents a terrain where wilderness conservation and traditional land uses like grazing and resource extraction intersect.
