About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this 2016 terrain, characterized by high-elevation parks and the drainage basins of the Middle Fork Little Snake River. The landscape is a network of named clearings and basins, including Whiskey Park, Crane Park, and Big Red Park, which historically served as vital landmarks for navigation and grazing. A notable human mark on this wilderness is the Dead Mexican Park Cem, located near the intersection of various forest routes.

Water management and recreation are evident through features like the McCargar Reservoir and the extensive trail system that crisscrosses the slopes of Elkhorn Mountain and City Mtn. Trails such as the Elkhorn Trail, Pioneer Trail, and Crane Park Trail follow the contours of the land, connecting the high ridges to the creek beds of King Solomon Cr and Independence Cr. The map captures the continued importance of these traditional routes and named parks within the protected forest boundaries.
