About this map

White River National Forest defines the high-country landscape of this Garfield County quadrangle, where a complex network of springs and drainages feed into larger systems. The map illustrates a high-elevation plateau marked by features such as W Deep Creek Rim and Monegar Ridge, which overlook the deep incisions of Deep Creek and French Creek. This area serves as a vital watershed, characterized by numerous named water sources including Ballsburg Spring, Irrawaddy Spring, and Sheep Spring.

Evidence of historical and recreational land use is found in the designated trails and seasonal grounds. The Broken Rib Trail 1849.1 and Johnson Pasture Trail 1852.1 suggest long-established routes through the timber and meadows of Crane Park and Coyote Park. Remote infrastructure is anchored by the Coffee Pot Spring Campground and the Deep Creek Overlook, highlighting the area's role for early 21st-century conservation and backcountry access.
