About this map

The confluence of the North Fork White River and the East Fork White River anchors this mid-1960s terrain study of the high-country boundary between the Routt National Forest and the White River National Forest. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major drainages and expansive highland meadows like Little Lost Park and Long Park. Access into these high basins is recorded through a network of primitive infrastructure, including the Lost Jeep Trail and multiple pack trails that follow the winding courses of Lost Creek and Marvine Creek.

Administrative and recreational outposts are clearly marked, such as the Lost Creek Guard Sta and the North Fork Campground, reflecting the forest management practices of the era. The presence of a Gaging Sta on the river and the Marvine Creek Campground further south illustrates the transition from resource monitoring to public recreation in these watersheds. Notable peaks like Sand Peak and the high expanse of Big Ridge provide significant landmarks for understanding the area's complex drainage patterns.
