About this map

The Continental Divide crests through this high-altitude landscape where the Rabbit Ears Range separates the drainage basins of the North and South Plattes. This area at the boundary of Jackson and Grand counties shows a complex network of headwaters, including the East Fork Troublesome Creek and Willow Creek. The high peaks of Parkview Mountain and Haystack Mountain dominate the skyline, overseeing a wilderness managed by the Routt and Arapaho national forests.

Evidence of human activity is primarily limited to resource management and recreation, with established paths like the Arapaho Creek Trail and Poison Ridge Trail tracing the ridgelines. Near the southeastern corner, the King Mountain Ranch stands as a rare named settlement amidst the steep terrain of Sheep Mountain and the deep cuts of Long Draw. The presence of the Parks and Sulphur ranger districts highlights the administrative split along these prominent mountain passes.
