2016 Map of Walton Peak

About this map

Walton Peak serves as a prominent landmark within this high-elevation landscape, where the administrative boundaries of Routt National Forest and Arapaho National Forest converge. The topography is defined by the sharp rise of the Gore Range, carved by numerous drainage systems including Sarvis Cr, Green Cr, and Muddy Cr. This 2016 survey documents a wilderness primarily accessible by non-motorized transport, centered on the winding path of the Routt Divide Trail. The convergence of the Grand and Routt county lines across these peaks highlights the high-altitude surveying challenges of the region. For those studying the geography of the Continental Divide's western slopes, this map provides precise detail on the drainage patterns and trail networks that have facilitated access to these protected lands for decades.
