About this map

The Continental Divide winds through the high ridges of the Rabbit Ears Range in this high-altitude landscape where the Arapaho National Forest and Routt National Forest meet. The terrain is defined by a complex network of alpine drainage systems, with Muddy Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Muddy Creek and Diamond Creek, carving through the mountain basins. A series of high-country water bodies, from the naturally formed Lake Agnes and Lily Lake near Baker Mountain to engineered catchments like Basin Reservoir and Milk Creek Reservoir, highlight the critical role this region plays in watershed management.

Evidence of early access and ranching history is preserved in the naming of Barber Basin and several backcountry routes such as Lower Bear Mountain Road and Rabbit Ears Road. The southern portion of the map transitions toward the Gore Range, where primitive trails like the Routt Divide Trail and Sarvis Creek Trail provide the only passage through the steep, timbered slopes. This modern survey captures the enduring wilderness character of the Grand and Jackson County line.
