About this map

Routt Hot Springs and the headwaters of the Yampa River define this high-country landscape in the northern Rockies. The terrain is marked by a legacy of resource extraction, with numerous workings including the Slate Creek Mine, Copper Ridge Mine, and Soda Creek Mine scattered across the ridges. These industrial sites are juxtaposed against modern recreational and infrastructure developments, such as the Steamboat Springs-Bob Adams Field airport and the Dry Lake Campground.

Water management is evident through the presence of the Woodchuck Ditch and the Hot Springs Highline Ditch, which redirect snowmelt from peaks like Rocky Peak toward the valley below. Several named watercourses, including Mad Creek, Butcherknife Creek, and Spring Creek, carve through the complex topography of Summit Park and the surrounding forest, reflecting a landscape where historic mining and essential water rights continue to shape local geography.
