2013 Map of Leon

About this map

The Roaring Fork River valley serves as the focal point for this 2013 topographic study, illustrating the modern residential footprint of El Jebel and Basalt against the expansive backdrop of the White River National Forest. While the southern portion of the map highlights the managed landscape of the Mount Sopris Tree Nursery and the vital water infrastructure of the Home Supply Ditch, the northern and eastern reaches are defined by high-elevation terrain. Dramatic features such as Basalt Mountain and the Cottonwood Divide overlook a network of backcountry routes, including the Lone Tree Trail 1913 and Mill Creek Trail 1937W.1. This map captures the intersection of expanding mountain communities with the protected wilderness of High Park and the canyons carved by Blue Creek and Cattle Creek.
