2019 Map of Big Marvine Peak

About this map

White River National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape where the boundary between Rio Blanco and Garfield counties cuts through a series of alpine basins and dramatic summits. The area is defined by its water systems, notably the Marvine Lakes and Big Fish Lake, which feed the drainages of Marvine Cr and Big Fish Cr. High peaks including Big Marvine Peak and Himes Peak dominate the skyline, while specialized landmarks like Lost Solar Park and The Meadows indicate specific grazing or recreational clearings within the timbered reaches. The network of trails, such as the E Marvine and Oyster Lake routes, reflects a long-standing infrastructure for forest management and backcountry access, linking scattered water bodies like Florence Lake and Gwendolen Lake across the divide.
