About this map

Green Mountain Reservoir dominates the southern landscape of this 2016 survey, where the Blue River flows through the high-altitude terrain of the Colorado Rockies. The boundary between Grand Co and Summit Co cuts across the center of the sheet, dividing a region defined by federal protected lands including the Arapaho National Forest and White River National Forest. Early agricultural and water-management efforts are visible through features like the Noonan Ditch, which traverses the slopes near Miller Gulch.

The topography is punctuated by significant peaks and ridges, from the Williams Fork Mountains in the east to Haystack Mtn and Green Mtn nearer the water. Transportation through this mountain pass relies on a network of routes such as Heeney Road and CO Hwy 381, while recreational access is marked by the Cow Creek S Campground and the Eagle Nest Trl W. Numerous named drainages, such as Elliott Cr and King Creek, illustrate the complex watershed that feeds the reservoir.
