About this map

Flat Tops dominate this high-altitude landscape along the border of Routt and Rio Blanco counties in the mid-1960s. The terrain is defined by a network of drainage systems, including the East Fork Williams Fork and Beaver Creek, which carve through the high plateaus and mesas. This area is situated within the overlapping boundaries of the Routt National Forest and the White River National Forest, highlighting its status as a protected wilderness and watershed region.

Remote access is indicated by a sparse network of jeep trails and pack trails that navigate landmarks such as Harp Point and Burro Mountain. High-country water features like Stinsby Reservoir, Pagoda Lake, and Vaughts Lake are central to the geography. The presence of Pagoda Peak and Egry Mesa suggests a landscape shaped by significant elevation changes, used primarily for resource management and seasonal backcountry travel during this era.
