2013 Map of Center Mountain

About this map

White River National Forest lands dominate this high-altitude landscape of Garfield County, where drainage networks and irrigation infrastructure reveal the region's ranching and wilderness heritage. The Sykes and Alford Ditch cuts across the northern slopes below Center Mountain, illustrating the vital role of water management in this high-desert environment. Topographical extremes define the terrain, from the prominent heights of Sunlight Peak and Little Baldy Mountain to the deep incisions of V Gulch and Dean Gulch. Modern access is concentrated along Garfield Creek Rd and CO Road 117, while the backcountry is marked by recreational routes like the Beaver Creek Trail 2092.1. Fourmile Park serves as a notable clearing amidst the dense contours, providing a focal point for lower-elevation activity near Fourmile Creek.
