About this map

High-altitude peaks and intricate drainage networks define this section of Garfield County, documented in the early 1960s with updates from 1982. The landscape is anchored by massive topographic features like Center Mountain, Sunlight Peak, and Little Baldy Mountain. In the northeast, the Sykes and Alford Ditch traces a path near Alkali Creek, illustrating the historical engineering required to manage water in the high country.

Public lands dominate the territory, with the western edge contained within the Castle State Wildlife Area and the southern reaches falling under the White River National Forest. For those researching local infrastructure, the presence of an Airway Beacon and Radio Towers on the eastern boundary highlights the mid-century development of regional communication and aviation networks across the terrain of Baldy Creek and South Canyon Creek.
