About this map

The Flat Tops define the high-altitude landscape of this 2013 survey, where the boundary between Routt National Forest and White River National Forest follows the dramatic ridgelines of the Chinese Wall. The terrain is marked by a concentration of glacial basins, containing numerous named water bodies such as Skinny Fish Lake, Causeway Lake, and Deep Lake. The northern portion of the map is dominated by significant summits, including Pyramid Peak and Baldy Mountain, while the southeastern corner features the engineered waters of the Stillwater Reservoir.

A complex network of primitive trails facilitates movement through this wilderness, providing access to remote points like Mandall Pass and the distinctive narrow land bridge known as the Devils Causeway. These paths, including the Chinese Wall Trail 1803.1 and Bear River Trail 1120.1, reveal the established routes used for forestry management and recreation within the high country of Garfield and Rio Blanco counties.
