2013 Map of Mount Powell

About this map

Mount Powell anchors the high terrain of this portion of the White River National Forest, where the border between Summit and Eagle Counties follows the high peaks of the Gore Range. The small settlement of Heeney sits at the northern edge of the map, adjacent to the extensive waters of Green Mountain Reservoir. This landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes and alpine water systems, featuring numerous high-altitude lakes such as Upper Cataract Lake, Bubble Lake, and Mirror Lake. The area's character as a recreational and wilderness corridor is evidenced by a complex network of named paths, including the Gore Range Trail and the Surprise Lake Trail. Smaller impoundments like Hoagland Reservoir Number 1 and Black Or Reservoir reflect managed water resources within the timbered valleys, while prominent landmarks such as Eagles Nest and Dora Mountain provide distinctive topographic reference points for this high-country region.
