About this map

Elkhead and the highland drainage of Elkhead Cr define this pocket of the Routt National Forest during the early 21st century. The landscape is dominated by high-elevation landforms, notably Quaker Mountain and Baldy Peak to the north, and Agner Mountain and Finger Rock to the south. A network of small waterways, including Hole-in-the-Wall Cr and the Dry Fork Elkhead Cr, carves through the terrain, illustrating the complex hydrology of the Elkhead Mountains.

Evidence of historical land use and early ranching persists in named features like California Park and Bull Hill. Transportation through this high country is limited, primarily represented by CO Road 56D and primitive forest tracks. The map provides a precise view of the interface between protected forest land and the drainages that feed the region's river systems, such as Cottonwood Cr and Mill Cr.
