About this map

The White River National Forest covers much of this Garfield County landscape, defined by a complex network of drainage basins and high summits. This 2022 survey documents a backcountry terrain carved by watercourses like Garfield Creek and Alkali Creek in the north, while the southern reaches are dominated by Bald Mountain and the headwaters of East Divide Creek. An intricate system of numbered forest trails, including the 8240 Trl and 8245 Trl, reveals how this land is navigated for resource management and recreation.

Evidence of early water engineering appears at the Sykes and Alford Ditch near Tie Gulch. In the lower elevations, the map identifies small landmarks such as Texas City and the East Divide Uncle Bob station. These named points, alongside large open areas like Fourmile Park, provide essential geographic anchors for those studying the land use and ranching history of the high country between Center Mountain and Sunlight Peak.
