About this map

Yamcolo Reservoir and the Upper Stillwater Reservoir dominate the high-elevation topography where the boundaries of Garfield, Routt, and Rio Blanco counties converge. This 2016 survey documents the complex water management system of the Bear River headwaters, featuring numerous mountain catchments like McChivvis Reservoir and Bull Park Reservoir. The landscape is largely defined by the protected lands of the Routt National Forest and White River National Forest.

High-altitude landmarks such as Orno Peak, Maggies Nipple, and the Flat Top Mtn plateau overlook a network of backcountry routes. These include the Sand Creek Trail, Uteheart Lake Trail, and Mandall Lakes Trail, which provide access to remote water bodies like Black Mandall Lake and Rams Horn Lake. The presence of the Five Pine Mesa Ditch illustrates the ongoing importance of water diversion in this montane environment.
