2016 Map of Devils Causeway

About this map

The Devils Causeway serves as a narrow, high-elevation land bridge, a defining topographical feature on this Garfield County map. Straddling the boundary between the Routt National Forest and the White River National Forest, the landscape is dominated by high-altitude plateaus and peaks like Pyramid Peak and Baldy Mtn. The hydrological pattern is defined by dozens of alpine lakes and basins, including Skinny Fish Lake, McGinnis Lake, and Deep Lake, many of which are connected by an extensive network of footpaths like the Lost Lakes Trail and the Skinny Fish Lake Trail. To the southeast, the Stillwater Reservoir collects the headwaters of the E Fork, illustrating the region's role as a critical watershed. The Chinese Wall creates a massive natural escarpment that dictates the course of the Chinese Wall Trail, marking a dramatic shift in elevation across the central portion of the survey area.
