About this map

Steamboat Springs serves as the focal point of this 2019 survey, situated where the Yampa River meets the western edge of the Routt National Forest. The map documents a modern recreational landscape, detailing an extensive network of named paths such as the Blair Witch Trail, Lane of Pain Trail, and the Yampa River Core Trail. These routes navigate the sharp elevations of Howelsen Hill and Quarry Mtn, reflecting the area's development into a premier mountain destination.

Water management and local history are etched into the terrain through features like the Walton Cr Ditch and the historic Steamboat Springs Cem. Beyond the city limits, the map illustrates the transition from the high-altitude suburban growth of the Timbers Preserve to the specialized aviation infrastructure at Mesa 1 Airport. Natural landmarks including Sulphur Cave Spring and the drainage of Pine Spring Gulch further define the complex geography of this Routt County valley.
