2013 Map of Marmot Peak

About this map

East Buffalo Peak and Marmot Peak anchor this high-elevation landscape along the boundary shared by Chaffee and Park Counties. This terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems that flow into distinct open mountain basins, such as Chubb Park and Pony Park. The 2013 survey illustrates the complex management of the Pike and San Isabel National Forests, where forestry and recreation intersect through an extensive trail system including the Salt Creek Trail 618 and the Midland Bike Trail 1450. Smaller ranching and settlement sites like Goddard Ranch and Aspen Arch are located along the lower reaches of Sevenmile Cr and Trout Cr, marking the human footprint in these mountain valleys. The map also details the Davis Meadow area and numerous spring-fed creeks that define the local hydrology of the Mosquito Range foothills.
