2016 Map of Mount Massive

About this map

Mount Massive dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of White River National Forest and San Isabel National Forest. The map documents a complex network of alpine hydrology and engineering, including the Ivanhoe Tunnel and irrigation infrastructure like Dunn Ditch near Soda Springs. The geography is defined by the Continental Divide as it splits Pitkin and Lake counties, with water draining through steep drainages like Halfmoon Cr and Rock Cr. Numerous high-elevation water bodies are clustered throughout the terrain, including Windsor Lake, Emerald Lake, and the N Halfmoon Lakes. The human footprint is marked by an extensive trail system, including the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail and the Mt Massive Trail, providing a clear record of the access routes used to navigate these summits and remote parks like Kearney Park.
