About this map

Mount Werner and the high ridges of the Gore Range dominate this 2016 topographical survey of the Colorado high country. Situated within the Routt National Forest, the landscape is defined by the Continental Divide, which serves as the jagged boundary between Routt, Jackson, and Grand counties. The map documents an intricate network of alpine water bodies, including Fish Creek Reservoir, Long Lake, and Dumont Lake, all connected by a system of seasonal drainages such as Fishhook Creek and Walton Creek.

Navigation through this high-altitude environment is facilitated by several established paths, notably the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail and the Mountain View Trail. These routes link secluded areas like Bear Park and Willow Park to prominent peaks and basins. The mapping detail shows the specific placement of isolated water features like Little Lost Lake and Lake Elmo, providing a clear record of the area's hydrology and recreational infrastructure as it existed in the mid-2010s.
