About this map

White River National Forest lands dominate this high-elevation portion of the White River Plateau in Colorado. The map documents a wilderness landscape defined by water and ridgelines, from the northern heights of Blair Mountain and White Owl to the southwesterly descent of Keyser Creek. This area remains largely defined by its backcountry access and seasonal usage, as evidenced by the remote outposts of Grizzly Cow Camp and Hip Roof Camp.

A dense network of trails and drainage systems dictates movement through the terrain. Named paths such as the Broken Rib Trail 1849.1 and Mitchell Creek Trail 1845.1 provide the primary corridors through the heavy contours. Numerous alpine lakes, including Grizzly Lake, Monument Lake, and White Owl Lake, are scattered across the plateau, feeding the complex headwaters of Grizzly Creek and Canyon Creek.
