About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this mountain landscape at the boundary of Routt and Grand counties, where the Continental Divide's influence is felt through a network of creeks and high-altitude parks. The map highlights the prominent Muddy Slide and the strategic Lynx Pass, which serves as a gateway between drainages. Long-standing water rights and land use are evident in the presence of Bulkley Reservoir and Hadley Reservoir, alongside numerous family-named landmarks like Jolley Creek and Coberly Gulch.

Remote infrastructure is captured through the Guard Sta near Lagunita Lake and a Gaging Sta on Horse Creek. For those tracing early backcountry routes, the Deadman Trail (Pack) and various unnamed jeep trails offer a look at the mid-century transportation network through Deadman Park and Deadman Gulch. This 1980 state of the forest shows the intersection of natural features like Iron Spring and human modifications for water management.
