2000 Map of Walton Peak

About this map

Walton Peak rises as the dominant landmark in this high-altitude landscape where the Routt National Forest and Arapaho National Forest meet. This survey, revised at the turn of the millennium, illustrates the preservation of the Sarvis Creek Wilderness and its drainage systems, including Sarvis Creek and Harrison Creek. The map provides a detailed view of the rugged boundary between Routt and Grand counties, showing how the land remains largely undeveloped except for high-elevation infrastructure like the State Highway Comm Station and a separate Communication Site. Significant for its depiction of early 2000s Forest Service land management, the sheet traces multiple trails and forest roads, such as the Hahns Creek/Bears Ears Yampa route, providing insight into the recreational and administrative network of the Southern Rockies.
