2013 Map of Tungsten

About this map

Nederland and the surrounding high country of the Roosevelt National Forest define this landscape along the eastern edge of the Continental Divide. The town sits at the western edge of Barker Reservoir, a central water feature alongside the massive Gross Reservoir further east. This 2013 survey shows a region where modern mountain residential enclaves like Saint Ann Highlands and Aspen Meadows are built into a terrain shaped by historical mining and scientific utility, represented by Tungsten Mountain and the Fritz Peak Observatory. The network of Front Range Mountain Bike Trails and the Peak to Peak Hwy highlight the area's contemporary transition toward recreation. Smaller settlements like Pinecliffe, Pactolus, and Lincoln Hills follow the drainage of S Boulder Cr, marking the enduring importance of river corridors in mountain development.
