About this map

Steamboat Springs is depicted in the mid-2010s as a high-altitude hub defined by its distinct geography and winter sports infrastructure. The town center is flanked by Howelsen Hill and the recreational trails of Quarry Mountain, with the Yampa River and its accompanying Yampa River Core Trail serving as the primary north-south corridor. To the west, the Steamboat Springs Cem rests on the outskirts, while the eastern portion of the sheet is dominated by the steep terrain of the Routt National Forest.

The landscape reveals a network of early-century water engineering alongside modern development, with labels for the Walton Cr Ditch, Baxter Ditch, and Suttle Ditch crisscrossing the southern meadows near Mesa 1 Airport. Natural springs like Sulphur Cave Spring and Heart Spring point to the area's geothermal activity, while the dramatic topography leading toward Fish Creek Falls highlights the steep drainage patterns of Spring Cr and Fish Cr as they descend toward the valley floor.
