2019 Map of Rabbit Ears Peak

About this map

Rabbit Ears Peak stands as the primary landmark of this high-altitude landscape along the border of Jackson and Grand Counties. The geography is defined by the Continental Divide, where the waters of the Colorado Cr begin their long journey westward while the Grizzly Cr and Muddy Cr systems drain the surrounding slopes. The map details the convergence of the Routt National Forest and Arapaho National Forest, highlighting a network of natural basins like Cloverleaf Valley and Willow Park. Key transit points are clearly marked, including Rabbit Ears Pass and Muddy Pass, providing context for historical movement through these gaps in the Rabbit Ears Range. From the high summit of Baker Mtn to the water-management features of Bear Park Reservoir and McGowan Reservoir, the sheet reveals how this mountain environment is both a protected wilderness and a vital watershed.
