About this map

Red Feather Lakes serves as the focal point for this 2016 survey, surrounded by an intricate network of alpine waters including Dowdy Lake, Parvin Lake, and Lake Nokomis. The landscape is a mix of dense forest and high-altitude settlements, largely contained within the Roosevelt National Forest. Significant local-history markers are preserved on this sheet, such as the Levi Yockey Grave and the Jewett Family Cem, indicating a long-standing human presence in these elevations.

Transportation through the area is defined by recreation and old mountain routes, with numerous trails like the Granite Ridge Trail and Mount Margaret Trail weaving between peaks such as Many Thunders Mtn and Mt Margaret. The presence of the Crystal Lakes Airport and the small settlement at Prairie Divide illustrates the unique infrastructure required for mountain life. Water management is also evident through features like the S Pine Supply Ditch and various reservoirs used for irrigation and local supply.
