2022 Map of Pando

About this map

Pando and Mitchell sit within the high-altitude landscape of the White River National Forest, marking a region defined by its role in mountain military history and alpine transit. This survey illustrates the convergence of the Sawatch Range and the Gore Range, where the Eagle River and its East Fork carve through deep gulches and under peaks like Hornsilver Mtn. The map traces the critical corridor of the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl as it winds along the ridge line near Ptarmigan Pass. A complex network of water management and transit is visible, from the Wurts Ditch traversing the slopes to the remnants of the Old Highway and specialized routes such as the Pearl Creek Jeep trail. This is a landscape where high-mountain logistics meet the sharp relief of features like Sugarloaf Peak and Taylor Hill.
