About this map

The high-altitude hydrology of the Flat Top Mountain region is the primary focus of this topographic study, where the Bear River flows through a series of significant water management features. The landscape is defined by extensive water storage, including the Yamcolo Reservoir and Upper Stillwater Reservoir, which are supported by several dams such as Yamcolo Dam and Rams Horn Dam. This infrastructure sits amidst a network of natural alpine lakes like Blue Lake and the Twin Mandall Lakes, illustrating the importance of this watershed for the surrounding valley.

Local landmarks such as Orno Peak and the curiously named Maggies Nipple provide navigational anchors for those exploring the area's recreational geography. Public access is noted through several forest service facilities, including Stillwater Campground and Horseshoe Campground, which serve as hubs for the trail and forest road networks like Usfs RD 900. The presence of numerous smaller impoundments, such as McChivvis Reservoir and Bull Park Reservoir, highlights the systematic capture of snowmelt from the surrounding high peaks.
