2016 Map of Lost Park

About this map

Routt National Forest and White River National Forest converge in this high-elevation landscape within Rio Blanco County. The area is defined by a dense network of drainage systems and high ridges, where the North Fork White River and Marvine Cr carve through the terrain. Notable peaks and basins such as Sand Peak and the Missouri Basin dominate the eastern portion of the sheet, while the namesake Lost Park sits in the northwest. This 2016 survey illustrates the intricate trail systems that have replaced primitive roads in many forest management areas, including the Dead Horse Loop and the long-stretching Marvine Trail. The presence of numerous designated parks like Little Lost Park and Wild Cow Park suggests a history of grazing or distinct meadow ecosystems preserved within the timbered reaches. Researchers can trace the path of Co RD 8 as it follows the river, providing a look at the modern access points to this backcountry region.
