About this map

Lynx Pass serves as a central landmark in this high-altitude landscape within Routt County, where the topography is defined by a dense network of water management and recreation. The presence of Morris Dam and Tonier Gulch Dam indicates the area's importance for local water storage, supporting several reservoirs including Morris Reservoir and Bulkley Reservoir. A legacy of outdoor use is visible through numerous established sites like Lynx Pass Campground and Toponas Creek Campground, which are situated near prominent drainages.

The hydrological character of the region is further detailed by the confluence of numerous creeks, such as Shoe and Stocking Creek and Little Rock Creek, which flow through features like Deadman Park and Long Park. These open parklands and gulches, including Coberly Gulch and Deadman Gulch, illustrate a landscape utilized for both its natural resources and its seasonal accessibility in the Colorado high country.
