About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this mid-1960s landscape, where the high-altitude terrain of the Dunckley Flat Tops transitions into steep basins and narrow creek valleys. Remote administrative markers like the Pyramid Guard Station indicate the seasonal management of these public lands, which are crisscrossed by a network of primitive transportation routes including a Jeep Trail and several Pack Trails.

Water management is a central theme of the topography, evidenced by numerous high-elevation water bodies such as Sheriff Reservoir, Haley Reservoir, and J O K Reservoir No 1. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by the East Fork Williams Fork and Trout Creek, carving paths around landmarks like Baldy Mountain and Egry Mesa. The map serves as a detailed record of the drainage systems and forest boundaries that defined the border between Rio Blanco and Routt counties during this era.
