About this map

Pagoda Peak stands as the dominant summit in this high-elevation landscape within the White River National Forest and Routt National Forest. The 1966 field survey documents a wilderness area defined by significant water resources, including the Stinsby Reservoir and the high alpine Vaughn Lake. The terrain is characterized by broad plateaus such as Beaver Flat and Egry Mesa, which are accessible only by a network of jeep trails and pack trails.

Several prominent drainage systems, including the Williams Fork and its East Fork, alongside Beaver Creek, carve through the topography, reflecting a landscape largely untouched by permanent settlement or paved infrastructure. The small label for Pagoda and the presence of scattered features like Cyclone Park and Burro Mountain indicate a region primarily utilized for timber, grazing, or seasonal mountain access during the mid-twentieth century.
