About this map

Lake Agnes and Lily Lake sit at the western edge of the high-country landscape depicted in this 2011 survey, where the Rabbit Ears Range and the northern reaches of the Gore Range converge. This mountain terrain is defined by its water management and ranching history, as evidenced by a series of engineered water bodies including Whiteley Peak Reservoir, Milk Creek Reservoir, Binco Reservoir, and Albert Reservoir, each with its associated dam.

The presence of Smole Sawmill in the north and various family-named operations like Anderson Ranch, Martin Ranch, and the De Berard Peak Ranch highlights a land use pattern focused on timber and livestock. Along the banks of Muddy Creek, which winds through the central valley, smaller drainages like Milk Creek and Frantz Creek gather, supporting the high-altitude ranching economy near the State Highway Maintenance Camp.
