2011 Map of Carbonate

About this map

Grizzly Cow Camp and Hip Roof Camp sit within a high-elevation drainage system defined by the headwaters of Grizzly Creek and the curiously named No Name Creek. This 2011 survey of the Carbonate quadrangle reveals a landscape where seasonal livestock camps and established paths like the Transfer Trail and Coffee Pot Rd provide the primary human imprint on the terrain. The topography is dominated by dramatic geological features including Quartzite Ridge and the summit of Baxter Peak, which rises above a series of alpine water bodies like White Owl Lake, Ute Lake, and Haypress Lake. The network of creeks, including South Grizzly Creek and East No Name Creek, illustrates the complex hydrology of the Elbow Park region, serving as a detailed record of the backcountry geography in Garfield County.
