About this map

The high alpine country of the Gore Range and the White River National Forest defines this landscape in the early 2020s. Along the southern corridor of the Piney River watershed, the towns of Avon, West Vail, and Vail anchor the valley floor along Gore Creek. The mountain slopes are intricately mapped with recreational infrastructure, particularly within the Vail Ski Area, where a dense network of trails such as the Liondown Trl, Berry Picker Trl, and Village Trl service the terrain under the Top Lift 8.

High-altitude water bodies including Piney Lake, Lost Lake, and the Nottingham Reservoir are essential landmarks in this drainage system. Further north, the landscape opens into grazing and transit areas like Moniger Park and Flagstone Park, accessed by historic routes like Red Sandstone Muddy Pass. The map meticulously details the complex topography between Red & White Mountain and the Eagle Valley, documenting the modern intersection of wilderness management and resort development.
