Independence Pass serves as the high-altitude centerpiece of this survey, marking a critical crossing point of the Continental Divide where the headwaters of the Roaring Fork River begin their descent. The landscape is a complex network of glacial drainage basins, characterized by steep gulches such as Lackawanna Gulch and Mountain Boy Gulch. The small settlement of Everett sits at the eastern edge, near where the S Fork Lake Creek and N Fork Lake Creek converge.
