About this map

Steamboat Springs anchors the southern portion of this landscape, where the Yampa River flows near the foothills of the Routt National Forest. The transition from urban development to wilderness is evident through the network of local roads like Elk River Rd and Lincoln Ave that lead toward the high ground of Copper Ridge and Rocky Peak. The area is defined by its complex irrigation and water management, featuring various systems such as the Woodchuck Ditch and the Hot Spring-Routt Hot Springs Highline Ditch.

A dense system of backcountry routes, including the Bear Creek Trail and Swamp Park Trail, crisscrosses the forest, marking the historic movement through the high country. In the more settled areas, Strawberry Park and Summit Park represent established pockets of community alongside Steamboat Springs Airport/Bob Adams Field. The presence of the Hot Spring-Routt Hot Springs northwest of the main town highlights the geothermal activity that has long shaped the local character and economy.
