About this map

Orno Peak dominates the high-elevation divide where Routt National Forest and White River National Forest meet. This survey captures a landscape defined by complex water management and high-country recreation, centered on the Yamcolo Reservoir and Stillwater Reservoir Number 1 along the Bear River. The terrain transitions from the broad summit of Flat Top Mtn and the distinctively named Maggies Nipple to sheltered basins like Gardner Park and Moore Park.

A dense network of primitive paths, including the Sawtooth Trl and Mandall Lakes Trl, suggests the historic accessibility of these remote subalpine lakes. The presence of irrigation infrastructure like the Five Pine Mesa Ditch among natural features such as Twin Mandall Lakes and Blue Lake illustrates the long-standing necessity of diverting alpine snowmelt to downstream uses in the Colorado River basin.
