About this map

Routt National Forest dominates the western portion of this Jackson County landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks and an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure. The map reveals a complex system of water management, with dozens of named channels such as the Hillside Ditch, Timber Ditch, and the Erickson and Bohn Extension Ditch diverting water across the high plains. These features highlight the importance of water rights and ranching in the region's development.

Outdoor recreation and historical transit are visible through established routes like the Grizzly Helena Trail and Rainbow Lakes Trail, which provide access to alpine water bodies including Ceanothus Lake and Middle Rainbow Lake. The small settlement of Livingston Park serves as a localized point of human habitation amidst the expansive drainage basins of Norris Cr and Hell Cr. The presence of the Red Canyon Reservoir further emphasizes the engineered nature of this high-country landscape during the early 21st century.
