About this map

White River National Forest lands dominate this high-altitude landscape in Rio Blanco County, where the North Fork White River carves through the southern reaches. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and elevated parks, including Old Baldy, Ellison Mountain, and the heights of Sleepy Cat Peak. A network of forest roads, such as Co RD 8 and Co RD 12, provides access to these timbered slopes and grazing areas like Pattison Park and Crooks Park.

Water management and ranching history are evident in the presence of the Big Lick Reservoir and the Coal Cr Feeder Ditch in the northwest corner. These features, along with numerous drainages like Big Beaver Cr and Fawn Creek, illustrate the vital role of water rights and irrigation in this part of the Colorado Rockies. Isolated landmarks like Marci Camp and Gobblers Knob offer specific points of interest for those tracing local history or backcountry movement through these townships.
