2022 Map of Walton Peak

About this map

Walton Peak rises as the central landmark of this high-elevation landscape, situated at the jurisdictional boundary of the Routt National Forest and the Arapaho National Forest. The map documents a rugged section of the Gore Range, where the continental drainage patterns are defined by the headwaters of Harrison Cr, Green Cr, and Sarvis Cr. Unlike lower-elevation maps, this 2022 survey shows a terrain almost entirely devoid of permanent structures or towns, focusing instead on the network of protected federal lands and the physical boundary shared by Grand and Routt Counties. Long-distance recreational pathways like the Routt Divide Trl and Sarvis Creek Trl trace the ridgelines and valley floors, indicating how the contemporary use of this land has shifted toward conservation and back-country access.
