About this map

Never Summer Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape, where the Continental Divide winds between the borders of Jackson and Grand counties. The terrain is a convergence of several protected areas, including the Routt National Forest, Arapaho National Forest, and the northern reaches of Rocky Mountain National Park. High alpine lakes like Lake Agnes and the Michigan Lakes feed the headwaters of the Michigan River and its South Fork, while the Illinois River begins its course in the southwest.

Major peaks such as Mount Richthofen, Static Peak, and the Nokhu Crags provide distinct landmarks along the jagged ridgelines. The map illustrates the complex hydrography of the Front Range, tracing drainage patterns through Skeleton Gulch and Hitchens Gulch. Hikers and researchers can follow the established Trail networks that cross through Baker Pass and circumnavigate the Never Summer Wilderness.
