About this map

Bare Mountain and Burnt Mountain anchor this high-elevation landscape in Carbon County, where the topography is defined by the headwaters of numerous radiating streams. The 2011 survey reveals a primitive road network concentrated in the southern valleys, particularly along West Fork Rock Creek, which serves as the primary corridor for mountain access. This drainage supports a cluster of seasonal sites, including Camp Senia and Bots Sots Campground, highlighting the area's role as a recreational gateway into the surrounding peaks.

The hydrological pattern is particularly intricate, with high alpine basins holding Silver Run Lakes, Lake Gertrude, and Basin Creek Lake. These water bodies feed a complex system of creeks such as Timberline Creek and Thiel Creek. The map documents a specific balance between forest management and public use, tracing routes like W Fork Rd and Forest Rte 71 that connect various points of interest like Nelson Campground and Cascade Campground to the rugged interior.
