About this map

The White River National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape, where the headwaters of numerous creeks carve through the plateau. Central to the area's movement is the Coffee Pot Road, which provides access to the Coffee Pot Spring Campground and the Deep Creek Overlook. The terrain is marked by significant hydrological features, including the West Fork Dead Horse Creek and the East Fork Dead Horse Creek, which drain the southern slopes near Willow Peak.

Evidence of geological interest and early backcountry travel is found in the various named caves, such as Indian Cave, and the network of primitive routes like the Pack Trail and Jeep Trail. Historically, this mid-1970s survey illustrates a region shaped by high-country hydrology and seasonal recreation, with numerous named water sources like Balisburg Spring and Leroy Spring serving as vital landmarks for those navigating the ridges and gulches between Deep Creek and Monegar Ridge.
