About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this section of the Colorado high country, where the boundary between Moffat and Routt counties follows the local drainage divides. The landscape is defined by prominent peaks including Buck Point, Black Mountain, and Sawtooth Mountain, which overlook a complex network of alpine watercourses such as Slater Creek and the Roaring Fork.

A network of forest service routes and historical trails provides access to the high basins, notably Bears Ears Trail 1144.1 and Black Mountain Trail 1185.1. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Sawmill Creek Campground near Sawmill Creek serves as a localized hub for backcountry exploration. The map also captures the transition from steep mountain slopes to flatter high-elevation meadows like Sawtooth Park, showing the early 21st-century management of these public lands for recreational and conservation use.
