About this map

The high-altitude drainage systems of the Routt National Forest and White River National Forest converge on this Colorado topographic sheet, marking the intersection of Rio Blanco, Garfield, and Routt counties. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of alpine water storage and natural basins, including Yamcolo Reservoir and the Stillwater Reservoir Number 1. These water resources feed the Bear River as it winds through a terrain punctuated by distinctive landmarks such as Orno Peak, Maggies Nipple, and Flat Top Mtn.

A notable density of named lakes and basins characterizes the western and central portions of the map, most prominently the Mandall Lakes group, including Black Mandall Lake, Slide Mandall Lake, and the Twin Mandall Lakes. The inclusion of man-made features like the Five Pine Mesa Ditch alongside natural features like Gardner Park and Moore Park provides a clear view of how water management and natural topography have been integrated in this part of the Colorado wilderness.
