About this map

Mount Jackson and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the White River National Forest define this 2016 study. The landscape is a network of alpine basins and glacial lakes, including Mystic Island Lake, Fancy Lake, and the cluster at Missouri Lakes. This map provides a detailed view of the high-country hydrology, tracing the headwaters of Lime Cr, E Lake Cr, and Cross Cr as they descend from the Holy Cross Ridge.

A robust trail system connects the various parks and passes, reflecting the recreational and ecological management of the modern era. Long-established routes like the Ironedge Trail, Lake Charles Trail, and Cross Creek Trail navigate the steep gradients between peaks such as Gold Dust Peak and Savage Peak. Notable open areas like Tellurium Park and Coffeepot Park offer a contrast to the jagged ridges of Fools Peak and Eagle Peak, illustrating the complex topography of this portion of Eagle County.
