2022 Map of Red Elephant Point

About this map

White River National Forest lands dominate this high-country landscape along the border of Rio Blanco and Garfield Counties. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, rising from deep canyons like Buckskin Gulch and Red Canyon to the heights of Big Mtn and Mid Mtn. Water resources are scattered throughout the alpine environment, with named reservoirs such as Howey Reservoir and isolated alpine lakes like Trojan Lake and Buckskin Lake providing critical water in this arid climate.
