About this map

White River National Forest defines the high-altitude landscape of this Garfield and Eagle County boundary region. In the early 21st century, the terrain is characterized by a series of prominent peaks and drainage systems, including the notable Cottonwood Pass and the elevated Cottonwood Divide. The hydrology of the area is managed through significant storage features such as Von Springs Reservoir Number 1 and Von Springs Reservoir Number 2.

The presence of Slaughter Spring and several named gulches, such as Sawmill Gulch and Association Gulch, points to a history of water resource management and possible early industrial activity in the mountain draws. Movement through this high country is marked by routes like Co Road 10A and the Powerline - Cottonwood corridor, while landmarks such as The Eagle Nest and Buck Point provide distinct navigational anchors for the area.
