2011 Map of Pine Lake

About this map

Shakespeare Mine sits near the southwestern edge of this high-altitude landscape, illustrating the history of resource extraction in Garfield County. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, notably the Table Cliff Plateau and the prominent Powell Point that overlooks a network of canyons including Pole Canyon and Burro Canyon. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the Pine Creek Dam creating Pine Lake, which serves as a hub for the Pine Lake Campground. A series of natural and man-made water features, from Paradise Spring to the Lossee Canal, trace the movement of water across this complex topography, while drainage systems like Henderson Creek and Clay Creek carve through the plateau.
