2019 Map of Crooked Creek Pass

About this map

White River National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape in Eagle County, where the topography rises toward Mount Thomas and Craig Peak. This 2019 survey documents a network of mountain roads and drainage systems, including the Crooked Cr Reservoir and the headwaters of Hat Creek. Of particular interest to historical researchers is the Gold Dust site situated near the northeastern corner of the map, a remnant of the region's mineral prospecting past. The sheet details the complex hydrology of the area, featuring numerous named springs like Fulford Cave Spring and Billings Spring. The primary corridor, the Eagle-Thomasville road, winds through significant clearings such as Yeoman Park and Crooked Creek Park, providing access to the high-country pass that gives this quadrangle its name.
