    [OC] An interactive, subway-style map of the Colorado Rockies


    Hi folks! I created this interactive graphic to explore the mountains of Colorado. You can currently click and explore:

    • Major mountain ranges/valleys
    • The Continental Divide / Major and Minor Rivers
    • Notable/highest peaks
    • Major roadways, towns and passes
    • National Parks/Monuments, Ski Areas, Hot Springs

    Check it out and let me know what to add next!

    (It's a little janky on mobile right now, but works great on a computer)

      *All elevations and prominences related to mountain peaks come from* [*listsofjohn.com*](https://www.listsofjohn.com/)*, which makes use of some relatively recent LiDAR-based surveying data. You will definitely see other numbers around the internet (and on physical signage!) that disagree with these numbers.*

      *As discussed above, the boundaries of mountain ranges come from* [*peakbagger.com*](https://peakbagger.com/)*. Some of them could be controversial (the Front Range reaches Salida?!). Population numbers and town/pass elevations come from Wikipedia, and are typically the latest estimates I could find.*

      *A broad host of other sources and tools informed the rest of the map elements and their descriptions.* [*14ers.com*](http://14ers.com)*, CalTopo, GoogleMaps, Wikipedia, local newsapers (The Colorado Sun, Summit Daily, Vail Daily, Aspen Times, …). The list goes on.*
