2022 Map of Marmot Peak

About this map

The Buffalo Peaks dominate the northwestern horizon of this high-elevation terrain, where the boundaries of Pike National Forest and San Isabel National Forest meet. This 2022 survey details a complex hydrological landscape defined by the various forks of Salt Cr and Sevenmile Cr. The presence of Brush Park, Pony Park, and Chubb Park suggests the character of these high-altitude basins, which historically served as grazing lands and waypoint markers within the central Colorado mountains. Evidence of early twentieth-century transportation infrastructure persists through modern recreational paths, most notably the Midland Bike Trl, which follows a historic rail grade through the southeastern portion of the map near Chubb Park. Local navigation is defined by a network of established trails, including the Davis Meadow Trl and Mcquaid Trl, connecting landmarks like Marmot Peak and Aspen Arch.
