About this map

Dome Peak stands as the prominent landmark within this high-elevation wilderness, situated at the intersection of the Routt National Forest and White River National Forest. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by an intricate network of alpine lakes and glacial basins, including Hooper Lake, Keener Lake, and the cluster of Island Lakes. The convergence of Garfield, Routt, and Eagle counties occurs amidst these peaks, where the headwaters of the Dry Fork Cabin Cr and various branches of Derby Cr begin their descent.

Water management and natural drainage patterns are evidenced by features such as the Lion Basin Ditch and Derby Ditch, which cut through the terrain near South Derby. The map reveals the seasonal character of the region through labels like Stump Park, Bear Park, and Deer Park, suggesting a landscape utilized for traditional high-country grazing or transit. These named parks and ridges, such as Derby Ridge and Indian Cliffs, provide specific geographic markers for those studying the land use and natural history of the Colorado Rockies.
