About this map

The Collegiate Peaks dominate this section of the Sawatch Range, featuring some of Colorado's highest summits including Mt Harvard and Mt Columbia. This high-altitude landscape is defined by the steep glacial cirques of the Horn Fork Basin and the alpine waters of Twin Lakes and Silver King Lake. The presence of the Winfield Cem in the northwest corner near Clear Cr offers a tangible connection to early mountain settlement and mining history.

Outdoor navigation is meticulously documented through an extensive network of footpaths, such as the Colorado Trl and the Harvard Columbia Scramble Trl. The map illustrates the boundary between the San Isabel National Forest and Gunnison National Forest, following the high ridges that separate Chaffee Co and Gunnison Co. From the heights of Mt Oxford to the depths of Magdalene Gulch, the topography reveals a landscape shaped by extreme elevation and drainage systems like Frenchman Cr.
