2013 Map of Parkview Mountain

About this map

The Continental Divide forms a high-altitude border between Jackson and Grand counties, serving as the literal backbone of this high-country landscape. This 2013 survey documents the primitive road and trail networks that navigate the intersection of Routt National Forest and Arapaho National Forest. The map centers on the massive profile of Parkview Mountain and Haystack Mountain, where numerous headwaters like Haystack Creek and the East Fork Troublesome Creek begin their descent. A dense network of numbered routes, including the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail and the Troublesome Trail, illustrates the modern management of these protected wilderness areas. To the southeast, the Trails End Ranch marks a rare point of private habitation near the confluence of Buffalo Creek and Trail Creek, providing a grounded reference point for the region's ranching heritage amidst the surrounding peaks.
