2019 Map of Pilot Knob

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this section of the Colorado high country, where the landscape is defined by a series of prominent peaks and dramatic geological formations. The eponymous Pilot Knob and the nearby Round Mtn stand as landmarks above a complex network of drainages including Armstrong Cr and Deep Cr. Evidence of the area's geological variety is found in labels like Anthracite Ridge and the Devils Slide, while California Park indicates a distinct meadow or opening within the timbered slopes. Along the southern edge of the quadrangle, human presence is marked by the Deep Creek Cem and a small network of rural roads such as Smith Creek Rd and Aspen Meadows Ln. The map illustrates a transitional zone where high ridges like Rim Rocks and Buck Mtn drop down toward the creek valleys, providing a detailed view of the forest's topographic character.
