About this map

Fairview lies at the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the Sangre de Cristo Mountains meet the San Isabel National Forest. The map documents a complex network of forest access and recreational sites, including the San Isabel Ski Area and the Ophir Creek Campground. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising toward the prominent Saint Charles Peak and the volcanic-sounding formations of Potato Mountain and Dome Rock.

Tracing the path of the Greenhorn Hwy (Highway 165) provides a look at how infrastructure winds through the Greenhill Divide and past family-named landmarks like Klipfel Meadow and Burris Meadow. The map is particularly detailed regarding the region's extensive trail system, featuring the Silver Circle Trail and St Charles Trail. These routes connect dispersed alpine features such as Eagle-Scout Lake Reservoir and the canyon reaches of Bear Canyon.
