2000 Map of Dunckley Pass

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Routt and Rio Blanco counties. The terrain is characterized by the expansive Dunckley Flat Tops and significant water management features, including Sheriff Reservoir, Haley Reservoir, and Gill Reservoir. The survey captures a moment in the early 2000s when the Flat Tops Scenic Byway traversed the heights, passing through Dunckley Pass to connect the high plateaus. The drainage patterns of the East Fork Williams Fork and Trout Creek define the deep basins below Egry Mesa. In the southern reaches, the map transitions into the protected Flat Tops Wilderness, showing a landscape shaped by both natural volcanic geology and the water infrastructure required for the region's ranching and conservation needs. Significant peaks like Baldy Mountain serve as primary landmarks for navigating the complex network of forest roads and trails that intersect the wilderness boundary.
