2000 Map of Rabbit Ears Peak

About this map

The Continental Divide winds through this high-altitude landscape of Jackson County, where the Routt and Arapaho National Forests meet. This 2000 revision, based on surveys dating back to the 1950s, documents a rugged terrain defined by significant drainage systems and early mountain settlements. In the northern section of the map, the Mc Gowen Homestead stands as a clear marker of human habitation within this wilderness, situated near the headwaters of several unnamed creeks. The land is marked by the complex transition between various forest administrations and topographic benchmarks that track the shifting elevations of the Colorado high country before the turn of the millennium.
