About this map

Gore Range peaks dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Eagle and Summit counties. Situated within the White River National Forest, the region is defined by a network of glaciated basins containing numerous alpine water bodies such as Willow Lakes, Salmon Lake, and Snow Lake. The map details the complex drainage systems feeding into the Blue River and Gore Creek, illustrating the high-country hydrology of the Central Rockies.

Evidence of early 21st-century recreational infrastructure is clear through the extensive trail system, including the Gore Range Trail and specific routes to remote basins like the Salmon Lake Trail and Gore Lake Trail. Notable summits such as Keller Mountain and Red Peak provide vertical context for the topographic relief, while low-elevation sites like the Blue River Campground and Boulder Creek Campground mark the transition from river valleys to the protected wilderness interior.
