About this map

Mt Massive and the surrounding high-altitude terrain of the Sawatch Range dominate this 2019 survey, where the Pitkin-Lake County line follows the Continental Divide. This landscape is defined by its complex water management and transportation history, featuring the Ivanhoe Tunnel and the historic Dunn Ditch system. The map illustrates a high-alpine environment preserved within the White River National Forest and San Isabel National Forest.

Lower elevations to the east reveal the institutional footprint of the Leadville National Fish Hatchery and the localized development around Soda Springs. An extensive network of recreational and historic paths, including the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, Highline Trail, and the Colorado Tkers Loop, provides a detailed look at how this wilderness area is navigated. From the cluster of the North Halfmoon Lakes to the drainage of Willow Creek, the map provides precise documentation of the glacial topography and water resources near the headwaters of the Arkansas River.
