1974 Map of Broken Rib Creek

About this map

The White River National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Garfield County, where the 1974 topography reveals a network of springs and rugged drainages. The map centers on the deep canyons of Deep Creek and the intricate hydrology of the Broken Rib Creek area. Significant landmarks like Indian Cave and various unnamed Caves suggest the karst-like character of the terrain, while the Deep Creek Overlook provides a vantage point over the converging waters of Monegar Creek and Jack Creek. Human presence is marked by a series of primitive routes, including a Pack Trail and Jeep Trail, that connect remote points like Crane Park and Coyote Park. The Coffee Pot Spring Campground near Coffee Pot Road serves as a hub for those navigating the high ridges, such as Burnt Tree Ridge, which overlook the steep descents toward the Falls on the lower creeks.
