About this map

The Rabbit Ears Range dominates this landscape, where the Continental Divide National Scenic Trl traces the high ridgeline between Routt National Forest and Arapaho National Forest. The geography is defined by prominent peaks and family-named landmarks such as Whiteley Peak, Grannys Nightcap, and Grannys Nipple. This 2022 survey captures the high-country drainage patterns where headwaters like Muddy Cr and Badger Cr begin their descent from the divide.

Water management in this high-altitude environment is evidenced by Parsons Reservoir, tucked near Carter Mtn. The transition from the rugged crest at Indian Pass to the lower gulches like Slaughter Gulch illustrates the steep topographic relief typical of the Grand County and Jackson County borderlands. This modern data provides a clear view of the existing trail systems and forest boundaries as they integrate with state routes like Co HWY 282.
