About this map

Rabbit Ears Peak dominates the skyline where the Continental Divide meets the Rabbit Ears Range along the boundary of Routt and Jackson counties. This mid-century survey documents a high-altitude landscape defined by its vital water sources and mountain crossings, including Rabbit Ears Pass and the nearby Muddy Pass. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features like Fish Creek Reservoir and Bear Park Reservoir, which feed into complex drainage systems such as Muddy Creek and Grizzly Creek.

Human presence is represented by isolated establishments like Rabbit Ears Lodge and scattered agricultural outposts including Anderson Ranch and Martin Ranch. The area serves as a primary recreational and natural resource hub, containing portions of both the Routt National Forest and Arapaho National Forest. These public lands are supported by infrastructure such as the Walton Creek Campground and a Radio Facility atop Walton Peak, reflecting the area's mid-century development for forestry and communications.
