About this map

Routt National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape in Routt County, characterized by the prominent spine of Green Ridge and isolated peaks like Simpson Mtn. The terrain is defined by dramatic drainage basins and steep descents, most notably The Slide and Wheeler Basin in the southern portion of the sheet. Water resources are managed through several alpine catchments, including the Bar-Bee Lake Reservoir and Lake Cr Reservoir, which feed into a complex system of creeks such as Morrison Cr and Muddy Cr.

A network of named forest trails and residential drives provides access to the higher elevations, including the Morrison Divide Trl and Silver Creek Trl. The transition from established roads like Stagecoach Rd and RCR 16 in the north to the primitive routes surrounding Lone Spring Butte illustrates the varying degrees of access into this wilderness. This survey captures the modern state of these public lands, marking the persistent naming of geological landmarks like Eagle Rock and the high-altitude Eagle Rock Lakes.
