About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this mountain landscape, defined by a high-altitude network of drainage systems and isolated outposts. The prominent Lynx Pass serves as a geographic anchor near the Guard Sta and Lagunita Lake, while the topography is deeply etched by Deadman Gulch and Coberly Gulch. The arrangement of water resources, including Bulkley Reservoir and Hadley Reservoir, alongside numerous unnamed springs and a Gaging Sta on Horse Creek, indicates a landscape managed for both timber and water control.

Primitive transportation routes like the Jeep Trail and various trails weave through the forest, connecting secluded meadows like Deadman Park with drainages such as Shoe and Stocking Creek and Whiskey Creek. This 1980s-era survey captures the area before modern developments, showing a wilderness still primarily defined by its natural hydrology and early administrative infrastructure like the campground near Toponas Creek.
