1983 Map of Cover Mountain

About this map

Cover Mountain dominates this landscape, rising above a complex network of canyons and drainages along the Park and Fremont county line. The terrain is deeply incised by dozens of named gulches, including Horsethief Gulch, Newberry Gulch, and Binckley Gulch, suggesting a territory defined by its challenging topography and reliable water sources like Currant Creek and Wilson Creek. Evidence of mineral exploration appears in the form of scattered prospects and localized mines, particularly in the western reaches near Mack Gulch. The prominent Cap Rock Ridge and Flat Top Ridge provide significant visual landmarks, while High Park Road serves as the primary corridor through this high-country environment. The survey reflects a sparsely populated area where the natural drainage patterns and geologic outcrops remain the most significant features of the land.
