About this map

The settlement of Lamoille serves as a hub for this high-desert ranching and recreation area, located at the foot of dramatic peaks. A network of family-owned ranching operations, including the Westlund Ranch, Lee Miller Ranch, and Vignolo Ranch, are situated along the drainage of Lamoille Cr and its tributaries. These waterways descend from steep canyons like Conrad Canyon and Snell Canyon, feeding the agricultural life of the valley.

Higher elevations show a transition to public use areas, such as Camp Lamoille and the Powerhouse Picnic Area. The terrain rises sharply toward Lee Peak, where alpine features like Griswold Lake and Seitz Lake sit in glacial basins. This landscape illustrates a 21st-century balance between working ranch lands and the recreational corridor leading into the mountains, accessed by routes like the NFD 660 RD and Canyon RD.
