2022 Map of Broken Rib Creek

About this map

The White River National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of this Garfield County quadrangle, where a complex network of springs and creeks feeds the rugged plateau. At the heart of the terrain, Coyote Park and Crane Park offer flat clearings amidst a series of prominent ridges, including Monegar Ridge and West Deep Creek Rim. The hydrology of the area is particularly dense, marked by numerous named water sources such as Broken Rib Spring, Irrawaddy Spring, and Ballsburg Spring. These springs serve as the headwaters for drainages like Broken Rib Creek and Irrawaddy Creek. The presence of several established trails, including the Broken Rib Trail and the Coffee Pot Road, highlights the long-standing use of this backcountry for resource management and high-country access.
