2011 Map of Piney Peak

About this map

Piney Peak rises over a complex drainage basin in Eagle County, where the high ridges of the Gore Range overlook a network of creek systems including Sheephorn Creek and the North Fork Piney River. The landscape is defined by its numerous high-elevation water bodies, such as the clustered Lone Lick Lakes, Beaver Dam Lake, and Slough Grass Lake. These features, along with names like Big Park and Rhoads Gulch, point to a history of land use focused on timber, grazing, and traditional mountain transit long before modern recreation dominated the area.
