2013 Map of Steamboat Springs

About this map

Steamboat Springs serves as the focal point of this 2013 survey, where the Yampa River creates a natural corridor through the valley floor. The map highlights the extensive integration of recreational land use and rugged terrain, particularly through the presence of the Howelsen Hill Ski Area and the larger Steamboat Ski Area. These areas are complemented by an intricate network of local trails like Thunderhead Trail and Fish Creek Trail. To the south, the small settlement of Sidney and the Mesa 1 Airport illustrate the transition from the city center to more open ranching and agricultural lands. Unique hydrological features such as Sulphur Cave Spring and Heart Spring are documented near the town core, while Routt National Forest dominates the eastern and southern high ground, shielding the headwaters of Priest Creek and Walton Creek.
