About this map

White River National Forest and Grand Mesa National Forest dominate this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Garfield and Mesa counties. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent peaks and ridges, including Flatiron Mountain, Mosquito Mountain, and Baldy Mountain, which overlook a complex system of drainages such as West Divide Creek and Salt Creek.

Evidence of resource management and early infrastructure is visible through the presence of the Highline Ditch, a Pipeline, and numerous named gulches like Groundhog Gulch and Pineapple Gulch. A robust network of forest trails, including the Lake Fork Trail and Reno Gulch Trail, provides access to remote points like Mosquito Lake and Reno Mountain, illustrating the region's historic use for both industry and backcountry travel.
