About this map

White River National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Garfield County, dominated by the massive landforms of the White River Plateau and Clinetop Mesa. The drainage patterns are clearly visible, with E Elk Creek and Boiler Creek cutting deep into the terrain. Remote water sources are meticulously identified, from high-altitude features like Adams Lake and Bugle Lake to essential backcountry points like Bearwallow Spring and the Second Set Spring.

Evidence of historical land use and access is found in the network of forest routes, including the Keyser Creek Trail and the descriptive Spring Creek to Boiler Creek path. These trails and the presence of Cattle Guard Road suggest a landscape managed for both timber and livestock. Significant peaks like Blair Mountain and Flatiron Mountain serve as prominent landmarks for those navigating this complex system of ridges and gulches.
