2019 Map of Broken Rib Creek

About this map

White River National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Garfield County, where a complex network of drainage basins and named springs suggests a vital watershed for the region. The terrain is characterized by prominent high points like Willow Peak and Windy Point, along with significant geologic features such as the West Deep Creek Rim. Water sources are densely mapped, including Short Creek Spring Number 1, Ballisburg Spring, and Maynes Spring, indicating their importance for local ecology and perhaps early livestock management. Moving south, the map details the descent into the Tie Gulch and Wagon Gulch areas. Access to these remote highlands is traced through forest routes like Coffee Pot Rd and several Bureau of Land Management tracks, including BLM Route 8441, which wind past landmarks such as Burnt Tree Ridge.
