1980 Map of Lava Creek

About this map

White River National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Eagle County, characterized by a complex drainage system where the Piney River and Lava Creek carve through the terrain. The map documents a network of named springs and remote water bodies that supported the regional ecosystem before the expansion of modern infrastructure. Significant landmarks such as Mc Cord Pass and Muddy Pass indicate the historical travel corridors through the mountains, while features like the Gaging Station on the river suggest active water management and monitoring during the late twentieth century.
