2019 Map of Eagle Roost

About this map

Williams Fork Mountains dominate the northeastern portion of this High Country landscape, where the high-altitude divide between Arapaho National Forest and White River National Forest meets the boundary of Grand and Summit counties. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of gulches including Cottonwood Gulch, McDonald Gulch, and Kansas Gulch, the latter containing a notable mountain cemetery. To the west, the reach of Green Mountain Reservoir and the Blue River define the lower elevations. The map reveals an intricate system of backcountry access points like Heeney Road and Brush Creek Road, which transition into hiking routes such as the Gore Range Trail and Slate Creek Trail. These paths trace the drainage basins of Slate Creek and Squaw Creek, connecting named landmarks like Palmer Knob and Target Bluff.
