2015 Map of Four J Rim

About this map

Four J Rim dominates this high-altitude landscape on the Wyoming-Colorado border, serving as a significant topographic divide. The area is defined by a series of basins and dramatic elevation shifts, most notably at Pine Mtn and the adjacent Four J Basin. Water is a critical and scarce element here, as evidenced by the concentration of named water sources like Big Spring, Goat Spring, Bell Spring, and the small Pine Lake. These springs are vital markers for navigation and survival in a terrain otherwise characterized by dry washes such as Horseshoe Wash and deep incisions like Scrivner Canyon.
