About this map

Mount Champion and Mount Oklahoma anchor this high-altitude landscape along the Continental Divide, where the headwaters of several major drainages begin their descent. This 2013 survey documents the complex hydrological and transit infrastructure required for water management in the Rockies, featuring the Chapman Tunnel and South Fork Tunnel. These tunnels divert flow between the Fryingpan River and Roaring Fork River systems. Historical mining interest is centered at the Champion Mill, situated at the edge of the San Isabel National Forest.

A network of numbered trails, such as the Lily Pad Lake Trail 1907.1 and the Lost Man Loop Trail 1996.1, provides access to remote alpine basins including Deadman Lake and Linkins Lake. The boundary between the White River National Forest and its neighbor is clearly delineated across high ridges like Twining Peak and Geissler Mountain, illustrating the division of these protected wilderness areas.
