About this map

White River National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Garfield County, where deep drainages and sharp ridges shaped the early extractive and agricultural patterns of the region. The map highlights the primitive infrastructure of the mid-1960s, featuring an extensive network of pack trails and jeep trails that provided access to remote locations like Clinetop Cow Camp and the Gray Eagle Mine.

Water management and resource extraction are central themes, evidenced by the Mansfield Ditch winding through the western terrain and scattered water sources such as Joe Hill Spring and Edwards Spring. The presence of a Gravel Pit and a labeled Prospect indicate ongoing interest in the area's geological potential. Prominent landmarks like Deep Creek Point and Clinetop Mesa offer a detailed look at the topographic character of the territory before modern development altered its accessibility.
