About this map

White River National Forest and Routt National Forest meet in this high-elevation landscape of the Flat Tops region, where the drainage systems of the N Fork White River and S Fork Williams Fork define the terrain. The map reveals an intricate network of alpine parks and meadows, such as Long Park, Big Park, and Wild Cow Park, which sit between prominent divides like Big Ridge. These open spaces have long served as critical summer range for wildlife and livestock.

Hydrological features are abundant, ranging from high-altitude waters like Pagoda Lake and Muskrat Lakes to the seasonal flows in Trough Gulch. The presence of Log Spring and various creek branches like Marvine Cr and Ute Cr underscores the importance of water management in this forest environment. Remote trails and routes, including the Dead Horse Loop and Marvine-Phippsburg road, provide the primary access through this complex topography of peaks like Sand Peak and secluded basins like Missouri Basin.
