About this map

Green Mountain Reservoir dominates the northwest corner of this Colorado landscape, where the Blue River flows through the heart of the Arapaho National Forest. The map documents a recreation-heavy economy along the water, specifically identifying family and group destinations like McDonald Flats Campground, Sucker Junction Campground, and the uniquely named Graveyards Campground Cem. A complex network of drainage gulches, including Lonesome Gulch and Chokecherry Gulch, feeds into the river system from the surrounding peaks.

Transportation in this high-elevation area is defined by utility and exploration, featuring a prominent Pipeline and several primitive routes such as the Lost Lake Trail and Slate Creek Trail. Significant topographical landmarks like Target Bluff and Eagle Roost provide essential orientation points for hikers and researchers. The boundary between Grand Co and Summit Co is clearly delineated as it traverses the Williams Fork Mountains to the north.
