2017 Map of Singer Peak

About this map

Continental Divide crests along the northeastern corner of this high-elevation landscape, where the waters of the Medicine Bow National Forest begin their descent toward separate oceans. This wilderness-dominated area is defined by a dense network of high-country drainage, including Strawberry Gulch and Dirtyman Fork. While the terrain is primarily shaped by natural features like Singer Peak, evidence of early water management is visible in the presence of the Deep Cr Ditch and the Belvidere Ditch, which redirect high-altitude runoff through the complex system of sandstone creeks. A single thoroughfare, Sage Creek Rd, provides limited access through the southern sections of the quadrangle, which is otherwise characterized by the winding paths of Big Sandstone Cr and its many tributaries.
