About this map

Mt Evans and Mt Bierstadt anchor this high-altitude landscape where the boundaries of the Arapaho National Forest and Pike National Forest meet. This modern survey details the complex drainage systems that flow from the glacial cirques, including Scott Gomer Cr, Chicago Cr, and Lake Fork. The presence of the Harold D Roberts Tunnel cutting through the subsurface near Geneva Park highlights the critical role this terrain plays in regional water management, even as the surface remains dedicated to preservation and recreation.

Lower elevations transitions into deep valleys like Buno Gulch and Mill Gulch, where trails such as the Rosalie Trl and Abyss Lake Trl navigate the steep gradients. Notable landmarks like The Sawtooth and Summit Lake Flats illustrate the distinctive geology of the Continental Mountains, providing a detailed look at the geographic relationship between these prominent Front Range peaks and the alpine lakes like Naylor Lake and Frozen Lake that sit below their summits.
