About this map

San Isabel National Forest encompasses much of this high-altitude landscape where the boundary between Park and Fremont counties splits the terrain. The map details a cattle-working environment, specifically noted by the presence of the Everett Cow Camp near the center of the sheet. Water sources are vital in this region, with numerous named springs and drainages such as Suckerville Spring, Steer Mud Spring, and Cals Fork Gulch providing the necessary resources for livestock and wildlife across the broad openings of Herring Park and Gribbles Park.

Land use is further defined by a history of resource exploration, indicated by scattered Mine and Prospect symbols. Movement across the drainage basins of Badger Creek and Wagon Tongue Creek is facilitated by a network of unimproved roads and historical routes, including the prominent Ute Trail. The topography rises toward Bull Hill in the southwest, while Gribbles Run and Rock Creek drain the southeast, illustrating the complex hydrology of the high Colorado plateau.
