About this map

Bakers Peak stands as the central landmark in this high-elevation landscape of Moffat County, surveyed in the late 1960s. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent summits, including Jim Robertson Mountain and Little Emerson Peak, which rise above the surrounding drainage networks. The northern boundary is marked by the winding course of the Little Snake River, which receives water from numerous seasonal tributaries such as Slater Creek and Mule Creek.

Human activity is limited primarily to a network of Jeep Trails and a localized Radio Facility, reflecting the area's use for resource management and telecommunications rather than permanent settlement. Water management is evident at the Ovo Reservoir and various named springs like Box Spring. The map captures the distinct topography of Serviceberry Mountain and Smith Rim, illustrating how the high-country hydrology flows toward the river basin through features like Rabbit Jack Creek and Little Field Draw.
