About this map

White River National Forest and Grand Mesa National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape defined by steep drainage systems and prominent summits. The divide between Garfield Co and Mesa Co traverses the northern portion of the map, cutting through Uncle Bob Mtn and Horse Park. This area is shaped by its hydrology, with numerous gulches including Lake Fork Little Muddy Gulch and Cayton Gulch feeding into larger systems like W Divide Cr.

The presence of naming conventions such as Coal Ridge and Texas Hill points to the historical land use and early surveying of the region. A network of mountain paths, including the West Divide Road Trl and Muddy Creek Trl, provides a look at how this terrain was navigated. Features like Mosquito Lake and various well sites, such as Well No 20, underscore the area's essential water and resource management.
