2016 Map of Montezuma

About this map

Montezuma and the high-altitude terrain of the Continental Divide define this landscape where the boundaries of Summit, Clear Creek, and Park counties meet. The map reveals a legacy of resource extraction and alpine exploration, noted by the presence of the Montezuma Cem and the complex network of mining access routes like Climax Mine Road and Chatauqua Mine Road. The subterranean Harold D Roberts Tunnel cuts beneath the peaks, a massive engineering feat for water diversion that passes deep under the Snake River headwaters and Santa Fe Peak. High-country water features are prominent, including Geneva Lake, Silver Dollar Lake, and the Murry Reservoir, all situated among soaring summits such as Argentine Peak and Mt Wilcox. This survey illustrates the modern intersection of industry and recreation, where the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail winds through three national forests: White River, Arapaho, and Pike.
