About this map

Buford serves as the central point of this Rio Blanco County landscape, situated where the North Fork White River and South Fork White River approach one another. This 2011 survey documents a region defined by its water resources and wilderness management, featuring the Buford District Ranger Office and the White River Community House. The drainage patterns are intricate, with numerous named waterways like Gooseberry Creek, Old Mons Creek, and Buckeye Creek feeding into the main river forks.

High-altitude geography is marked by significant landmarks such as Buford Peak and Burro Mountain, while the presence of the Bailey Lake Dam and the Beckman Ditch indicates the management of mountain runoff. For those interested in the recreational footprint of the area, the map details the Hill Creek Campground and Trailhead alongside several small lakes including Bar-Bel Lake, Peltier Lake, and Harker Park Lake. The road network is limited to County RD 17 and County RD 10, underscoring the secluded character of this river-cut terrain.
