2000 Map of Mount Ethel

About this map

Mount Ethel stands as a prominent landmark along the high spine of the Park Range, where the Continental Divide separates the watersheds of the Routt and Jackson County line. This high-altitude landscape is defined by its glacial hydrology, featuring a dense concentration of alpine waters including Lake Katherine, Wolverine Lake, and Big Creek Lake. The area is managed as part of the Routt National Forest and the protected Mount Zirkel Wilderness, preserving a network of drainage systems like the South Fork Elk River and Mad Creek.
