About this map

The confluence of the Roaring Fork River valley and the high-altitude terrain of the White River National Forest defines this landscape in Eagle and Garfield counties. The settlement of El Jebel serves as a modern focal point, home to the Eagle County Court at El Jebel, while nearby Basalt and Catherine anchor the valley floor. Transportation and recreation networks are deeply integrated into the topography, with the Rio Grande Trl and Willits Lane Trl tracing the paths of earlier valley-floor corridors.

Rising sharply from the riverbanks, the terrain ascends toward Basalt Mountain and the Red Table formation. Water management is central to this high-country environment, evidenced by the Home Supply Ditch, McNulty Reservoir, and isolated features like Kelly Lake. A dense network of forest routes, such as the Cattle Creek Trl and Lone Pine Trl, provides access to the higher elevations and gulches like Bowers Gulch north of the river.
