2011 Map of Lost Park

About this map

The North Fork White River carves through this high-elevation landscape in Rio Blanco County, anchoring a network of remote recreation sites and primitive trails. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, Marvine Creek and its tributaries, including Dry Fork Marvine Creek and East Marvine Creek, define the drainage patterns below the massive Big Ridge. The map illustrates a concentration of wilderness access points and seasonal facilities, such as the Marvine Campground and North Fork Campground. This 2011 survey captures the area's transition between alpine meadows like Lost Park and Big Park and the prominent summits of Sand Peak. The presence of established trailheads, including the Ute Creek Trailhead and Long Lost Trailhead, indicates the region's importance for backcountry navigation and modern wilderness management.
