2012 Map of Steamboat

About this map

Steamboat Springs anchors the southern portion of this landscape, where the geothermal activity that defines the local geology is clearly marked alongside the Steamboat Branch Post Office. The area exhibits a distinct shift from the established residential pockets of Reno and Hidden Valley in the north toward more sprawling ranch lands and newer developments. A series of agricultural and equestrian-themed landmarks, including Bella Vista Ranch, Treps Farm, and Bianco Ranch, highlight the rural-to-suburban transition occurring south of the city. To the southeast, the terrain rises sharply toward the Virginia City Highlands, punctuated by high points like Castle Peak and Lookout Point. The network of irrigation and water management is evident through the path of Steamboat Creek and the Crane Ditch, which service the lower elevations before the land ascends into the dry canyons of Red Rock Canyon.
