1974 Map of Carbonate

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Carbonate sits atop a high plateau in the White River National Forest, characterized by a network of high-altitude lakes and ephemeral drainages. The landscape is defined by the prominent Quartzite Ridge, reaching its height at Quartzite Baxter Peak, and open clearings like Elbow Park and Crane Park. This 1970s survey documents a wilderness area where transportation is limited almost exclusively to a complex system of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails, indicating the area's use for remote recreation and livestock management, as seen at Grizzly Cow Camp. Several Prospects near Monument Lake point to small-scale mineral exploration history. Water resources are abundant, ranging from named springs like Hillside Spring to significant high-country basins including White Owl Lake, Ute Lake, and Yellow Lake.
