2022 Map of Big Marvine Peak

About this map

The high backcountry of the White River National Forest defines this terrain, where the headwaters of the South Fork White River carve through the high plateaus of Garfield and Rio Blanco counties. The landscape is dominated by volcanic remnants and alpine basins, anchored by the massive Big Marvine Peak and the distinctive Little Marvine Peaks to the north. This 2022 survey captures a remote wilderness network of trails that trace historical migration and drainage patterns, including the East Marvine Trl and Oyster Lake Trl. High-altitude lakes such as Mary Loch Lake, Gwendolen Lake, and Florence Lake dot the glacial cirques, while The Meadows provides a broad opening along the river valley. The map meticulously documents the transition from the high ridges of Timber Mtn down into protected basins like Lost Solar Park, illustrating the complex hydrology of Marvine Creek and its various tributaries.
