About this map

The Blue River valley serves as the central artery for this high-elevation landscape, where the northern waters of Green Mountain Reservoir are contained within the White River National Forest. The transition from the valley floor to the ridgelines is marked by significant topographical shifts, notably towards the Williams Fork Mountains and Williams Divide. Along the southern shore of the reservoir, Willows Campground and Heeney Road provide access to the water, while the Haystack Powerline cuts across the terrain near Haystack Mtn.

Resource management and water diversion are evident through features like Noonan Ditch, reflecting the region's complex relationship with high-altitude hydrology. To the north and east, the map detail encompasses Arapaho National Forest, dominated by peaks like Copper Mtn and the narrow drainages of McQueary Gulch and Johnson Gulch. This area remains defined by its lack of dense settlement, focusing instead on forest boundaries and recreational access points.
