About this map

Pleasant Valley and the waters of the Yampa River dominate this landscape within the Routt National Forest. The map documents a blend of public forest land and private ranching interests, highlighted by the presence of Lake Catamount and the agricultural infrastructure of the Suttle Ditch. High-altitude aviation access is provided via the Lucky L Ranch Airport and Pleasant Valley Airport, serving a region defined by its prominent relief.

Elevations rise sharply toward Blacktail Mtn and Marshall Ridge, with Yellow Jacket Pass serving as a primary point of transit through the terrain. The network of forest roads and trails, including the Dry Creek Trl and Postrider Trl, illustrates the modern usage of the backcountry for both management and recreation. Numerous creeks such as Sarvis Cr and Morrison Cr drain the slopes of Woodchuck Hill, feeding into the primary river system.
