About this map

White River National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the boundary between Rio Blanco and Garfield counties crosses a network of drainage basins and ridges. The area is defined by a series of high-country water sources, most notably the numerous springs along Clark Ridge, numbered one through six, and the high-elevation Cliff Lakes. These water resources supported the seasonal activity at sites like the Meadow Creek Cow Camp and Clark Cabin Spring.

Transportation through this high country relies on a system of forest roads and trails, including the New Castle - Buford road and the Deep Creek Ridge Trail 2294. Recreational infrastructure is evident at the South Fork Campground and Meadow Creek Campground, serving those visiting Meadow Cr Lake. The topography is particularly steep around Blair Mountain and the Deep Creek Ridge, providing a comprehensive look at the headwaters of Main Elk Creek and the South Fork White River.
