2013 Map of King Creek

About this map

Green Mountain Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this 2013 survey, where the Blue River is harnessed for water management at the border of Summit and Grand counties. The topography is defined by the high elevations of the Williams Fork Mountains and Haystack Mountain, with the land divided between the Arapaho National Forest and White River National Forest. For those tracing local recreation and infrastructure, the map details established sites like Big Green Campground, Willows Campground, and Green Mountain Camp. Evidence of early water engineering is visible through the Noonan Ditch, which cuts across the terrain near Little Green Mountain. This era represents a period of managed wilderness, where forest service roads like Co Road 2900 provide access to complex drainages including Elliott Creek and King Creek.
