The White River National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where the peaks of New York Mountain and Grouse Mountain overlook a complex network of alpine lakes and glacial drainages. In the early 1960s, the area remained largely defined by its extraction and water-management history. Mining efforts are evidenced by the Ohio Tunnel and Discovery Tunnel situated near Ohio Creek, while water diversion infrastructure like the Fleck Ditch and Johnson and Townsend Ditch trace the contours of the northern slopes. Settlement is sparse, with only the Baryeta Cabins appearing as a named structure in the backcountry.
