About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, centered on the prominent peak of Mount Werner. At the turn of the 21st century, the map documents the infrastructure of the Steamboat Ski Area, including the Ski Patrol Building and an Electronic Site perched on the mountain slopes. The terrain is defined by the Continental Divide, which snakes through the eastern half of the quadrangle, serving as the boundary between Routt, Jackson, and Grand counties.

Hydrological features are abundant, from the Fish Creek Reservoir in the north to the glacial lakes scattered along the divide, such as Lake Percy, Round Lake, and Lake Elmo. The presence of the Hahns Peak-Bears Ears Divide Trail and the Base Camp near Fishhook Creek indicates a landscape heavily utilized for recreation and forest management. Industrial traces are sparse but present, noted by a Gravel Pit near Walton Creek and the path of an old Telephone Line crossing the southern valley.
