About this map

The Rabbit Ears Range dominates this portion of Grand County, forming a high-elevation divide that separates numerous drainage systems. Significant peaks like Parkview Mountain and Sheep Mountain define the horizon, while the terrain is carved by complex water networks including Willow Creek, Haystack Creek, and East Fork Troublesome Creek. This 2011 survey captures the area's transition from high summits to more accessible valley floors, where Trails End Ranch represents the primary named settlement activity near the banks of Buffalo Creek.

High-altitude crossings like Troublesome Pass provide passage through the peaks, connecting the watersheds of Timber Creek and McBride Creek. The map documents a landscape primarily shaped by natural topography and water flow, with subtle human imprints found along Co RD 504 and the drainage at Long Draw. This sheet is particularly useful for understanding the hydrography of the northern Colorado mountains, where smaller alpine features like Longs Lake feed into the larger creek systems.
