2022 Map of Mount Werner

About this map

Routt National Forest encompasses the high-altitude landscape of the Park Range and Gore Range in this modern survey. The Continental Divide winds through the eastern portion of the map, separating the headwaters of western-flowing streams from the Colorado Creek drainage. High-mountain hydrology is the defining characteristic here, with numerous alpine lakes such as Fishhook Lake, Long Lake, and Lake Percy dotting the terrain. The presence of Fish Creek Reservoir in the north suggests significant water management within these protected lands. A complex network of backcountry routes, including the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail, Fish Creek Trail, and Mountain View Trail, provides access to the summits near Mt Werner. This quadrangle captures the convergence of Routt, Jackson, and Grand counties along the ridgelines of the divide.
