2022 Map of Mount Powell

About this map

Green Mountain Reservoir sits at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where the waters of the Blue River meet the southern reaches of the Williams Fork Mountains. The terrain rises sharply toward the south, culminating in the jagged summits of Mt Powell and Eagles Nest along the Gore Range. This area, protected within the White River National Forest, is defined by a dense network of glacial lakes and alpine drainages. Notable water features like Cataract Lake, Black Lake, and the engineered Hoagland Reservoir Number 1 indicate a region shaped by both natural beauty and water management. Early ranching footprints are evident at Spring Creek Ranch near Heeney Road, while an extensive trail system, including the Gore Range Trl and Eaglesmere Trl, provides access to the remote peaks and basins that straddle the boundary of Summit and Eagle counties.
