About this map

Bakers Peak and the high ridges of Serviceberry Mountain dominate this landscape in Moffat County, where complex drainage systems define the high-elevation terrain. To the north, the Little Snake River flows near a Gaging Sta, while the southeastern portion of the quadrangle is marked by the distinct Smith Rim and Ovo Reservoir. The map illustrates a remote wilderness characterized by a network of seasonal watercourses like Jack Rabbit Creek, Slater Creek, and Mule Creek, which cut through the steep topography.

A sparse network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access through this section of the Rocky Mountains, linking natural landmarks such as Fan Rock and water sources like Box Spring. The presence of a isolated Radio Facility suggests the area's strategic importance for communication in the late 1960s, despite the lack of permanent settlements. This survey reflects the region's character as a rugged livestock grazing or resource area, where the terrain itself dictates human activity and movement.
