About this map

The Flat Tops define this high-altitude wilderness along the borders of White River National Forest and Routt National Forest. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of glacial lakes and mountain drainage systems, including Emerald Lake, Still Waters, and the Sunnyside Lakes. Settlement is non-existent in this terrain, replaced by a dense system of historic pack trails and primitive routes that facilitate movement through the high country.

Tracing the waterways reveals the engineering of the Lion Basin Ditch and S Derby Ditch, which divert water across the high basins of Derby Mesa. Prominent summits like Dome Peak and Derby Peak overlook significant geological features such as Trail Rider Pass and Stump Park. The map provides a meticulous record of the upper reaches of Derby Creek and its many forks, illustrating the hydrological importance of this montane environment.
