About this map

Jump Off Peak and the high ridgelines of Fergus County dominate this drainage-head topography at the start of the twenty-first century. The landscape is defined by the radial dispersal of mountain streams, including the upper reaches of Careless Creek and Beaver Creek. To the east, the sharp elevation of Knife Blade Ridge stands in contrast to the broader shoulders of Black Ridge and Lime Cave Peak.

The area serves as a significant hydrological source, where the West and East forks of Cottonwood Creek begin their descent. Forest Service roads wind through the canyons, providing access to landmarks like Mount Harlow and the steep terrain of East Fork Green Pole Canyon. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the primitive road network and natural water systems, such as West Fork Timber Creek, as they existed before more recent shifts in land management or environmental change.
