About this map

The Beaver Flat Tops plateau dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Routt and Rio Blanco counties. Surveyed in the mid-1960s, this area is characterized by the rugged divide between the White River National Forest and Routt National Forest. The map documents a topography of high summits like Pagoda Peak and Burro Mountain, interspersed with secluded water bodies such as Stinsby Reservoir, Vaughn Lake, and Pagoda Lake.

Drainage patterns are clearly defined by the headwaters of Beaver Creek, Pagoda Creek, and the East Fork Williams Fork. This terrain, including landmarks like Egry Mesa and Harp Point, remains largely accessible only by primitive routes, identified as Jeep Trail and Pack Trail networks. The presence of a Campground near Poose Creek suggests the area's importance for backcountry recreation and forestry management during this era.
