About this map

Poker Peak and the surrounding ridgelines of the Caribou Range define this high-elevation corner of the Caribou National Forest. The landscape is dominated by complex drainage systems and a network of named trails that provide access to the remote backcountry, including the Thunder Mountain Trl and the Bald Mountain Trl. These routes connect significant geographic landmarks such as Jensen Meadow and Moose Pond, revealing how the forest was historically navigated before modern development.

Water is a central feature of the terrain, with McCoy Creek and the West Fork Fish Creek carving deep into the mountains. In the northeast, the map shows the edge of the Palisades Reservoir, a critical water management feature. Geographic features like Chicken Ridge and Black Mtn emphasize the verticality of the region, while labels like Big Spring indicate key water sources used by early travelers and forest rangers within the extensive Caribou National Forest boundaries.
