2022 Map of Meaden Peak

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where a network of trails and drainages defines the wilderness character of the northern Colorado Rockies. High points like Meaden Peak, Diamond Peak, and Nipple Peak provide the primary anchors for a terrain carved by numerous watercourses, including the S Fork Little Snake River and Willow Cr. This 2022 survey captures the area's essential hydrology, showing how snowmelt from peaks feeds alpine features like Willow Cr Lake and flows through canyons via Mill Cr and Elkhead Cr. Open meadows and parks, such as Slater Park and California Park, interrupt the dense forest cover, indicating traditional grazing lands or natural clearings. Backcountry access is traced through established routes like the Prospector Trl and Oliver Creek Trl, which navigate the complex topography of the Elkhead Mountains.
