About this map

Pike Ridge and Upper Four Mile Mountain dominate this mid-1960s terrain in Garfield County, defining a complex system of drainage and high plateaus. The landscape is carved by deep watercourses including Roan Creek and East Salt Creek, which are fed by numerous seasonal flows such as Barrel Spring Creek. Dramatic landforms like Long Point and Calf Point overlook the rugged canyon floors below.

Evidence of historical land use appears in the form of a Pack Trail winding through the eastern hills and several Jeep Trail routes providing access to remote points. The network of canyons—including Hells Hole Canyon, Calf Canyon, and Corral Canyon—suggests a region used for livestock grazing and movement between high summer pastures and sheltered winter valleys. Numerous named water sources, such as Barrel Spring, underscore the critical importance of reliable water in this high-altitude environment.
