About this map

White River National Forest land defines this portion of Rio Blanco County, where the high country transitions between deep basins and prominent peaks. The drainage network is anchored by the North Fork White River, which meets the main White River in the southern part of the quadrangle. Early 20th-century land use is evident in the presence of seasonal livestock outposts like Windy Bill Cow Camp and named meadows such as Pattison Park.

Transport through this landscape relied on historic routes like the Sleepy Cat Trail and the Ute Trail, which suggest long-standing movement patterns across the terrain. Small-scale resource exploration is visible through several marked Prospect sites and Drill Hole locations near Ellison Mountain. High points like Old Baldy and Nimerick Point offer clear views of the complex water system, including the Feeder Ditch and numerous creeks like Big Beaver Creek.
