About this map

The White River National Forest encompasses much of this high-elevation landscape in Garfield County, defined by a complex network of canyons and peaks. Early water management infrastructure is evident through the Sykes and Alford Ditch, which traverses the northern drainages near Alkali Cr and Garfield Cr. The map highlights the intersection of public lands and historic routes, notably around Fourmile Park and the curiously named Texas City in the southeastern corner.

Elevations rise sharply toward Center Mountain and Sunlight Peak, while deep gulches such as Tie Gulch and Bear Gulch carve through the plateau. Recreational and historical access is documented via the Beaver Creek Trail and old thoroughfares like Old Fourmile, providing a detailed look at the rural connectivity and topographical challenges of this part of the Colorado Rockies in the early 21st century.
