2001 Map of Storm King Peak

USGS Topo · Published 2005

About this map

Storm King Peak and the high summits of the Weminuche Wilderness define this high-altitude landscape in the San Juan Mountains. The terrain is characterized by a series of dramatic alpine peaks including Vestal Peak, White Dome, and the Trinity Peaks, which dominate the central and southern portions of the sheet. The Continental Divide snakes through the northeast, separating the headwaters of the Rio Grande from the Vallecito Creek drainage system. Scattered throughout the higher elevations are evidence of historic prospecting, with several Mine and Prospect sites located near Kite Lake and the Beartown (Site) area. This 2001 revision illustrates the topographical complexity of the San Juan National Forest and Rio Grande National Forest before modern climate shifts significantly altered the high-country snowpack and glacier points, such as those found near Sunlight Lake.
