1977 Map of Oyster Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

Flat Tops dominate this high-altitude landscape in the White River National Forest, where the plateau terrain drops sharply into deep drainage basins. Published in the late 1970s, the map reveals a network of pack trails that provide the only access through the Flat Tops Wilderness, crossing the border between Rio Blanco and Garfield counties. This environment is defined by its water system, with Oyster Lake and Papoose Lake serving as central landmarks. Significant peaks like Camel Peak and Rat Mountain rise above the basin floors, while numerous smaller bodies of water such as Mackerel Lakes and Slide Lake are scattered across the high country. The cartography details the complex relationship between the flat-topped ridges and the steep-walled valleys carved by Papoose Creek, Ute Creek, and the various branches of Marvine Creek.
