2017 Map of Cass Creek Peak

About this map

Henry Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Garfield County, punctuated by several significant peaks and water-management features. The map centers on Cass Creek Peak and the massive profile of Mt Hillers to the south. Historically essential water sources are dispersed throughout the arid terrain, including Bastian Reservoir, Cass Cr Reservoir, and several vital springs such as Quaking Aspen Spring and Gold Creek Spring. The geography is defined by sharp elevation changes, notably at Stanton Pass and along the Taylor Ridges. Cattle ranching and backcountry navigation are evidenced by landmarks like Coyote Benches and named drainages such as Benson Cr and Straight Cr. Access through this remote section of the Colorado Plateau is traced via the unpaved Bull Creek Pass Rd and Trailcreek Rd.
