About this map

Lake Granby and its southeastern reaches define this high-altitude landscape in the Colorado Rockies. The shoreline of Arapaho Bay serves as a hub for local recreation, including the Moraine Campground and Arapaho Bay Campground. Inland, the terrain is shaped by water management and resource extraction, visible at the Beaver Mica Mine and several engineering projects like the Hankison Dam and Monarch Lake Dam.

Settlement patterns are sparse and focused on ranching and seasonal access, with the Little HO Ranch and Arapaho Valley Ranch marking the valley floor. Water distribution is critical to the region's geography, evidenced by the Meadow Creek Ditch and the proximity of numerous alpine water bodies such as Strawberry Lake and Meadow Creek Reservoir. The prominence of Lonesome Peak and the drainage of the Fraser River provide a glimpse into the topographical layout of Grand County at the start of the decade.
