About this map

Castle Peak rises as the central landmark of this high-altitude landscape in Eagle County, serving as a hub for a complex network of Bureau of Land Management routes. The terrain is defined by its water storage and natural basins, including Hurt Reservoir, G G Upper Reservoir, and the Castle Cr Ponds. The high country is segmented by prominent ridges and peaks such as Winter Ridge, Horse Mtn, and Pisgah Mtn.

Insight into the land use of the late 2010s is revealed through the extensive naming of small water bodies and springs, like Little Button Spring and Reap Spring, which suggest the vital importance of water resources in this mountainous environment. Localized geography is further detailed by features like Coberly Gap and Castle Park, while drainage systems such as Catamount Cr and Norman Cr illustrate the watershed patterns that shape the region's topography.
