About this map

The Flat Tops and Little Flat Tops dominate this high-country landscape, where the Flat Tops Wilderness Boundary follows the ridgelines and plateaus of the Routt National Forest and White River National Forest. At the center of this hydrographic network is the Upper Stillwater Reservoir (Yampa), which serves as a vital water source along the Bear River.

Remote survey points like Orno Peak and the colorfully named Maggies Nipple provide topographic reference for a region defined by its lack of vehicular roads, relying instead on a system of the Pack Trail, Ute Trail, and the occasional Jeep Trail. Researchers can trace the drainage patterns of numerous named tributaries, including Moody Creek and Coal Creek, which feed into several high-altitude impoundments such as Watson Reservoir and Gardner Park Reservoir 9630.
