About this map

The North Fork White River carves a central corridor through this section of the Flat Tops, where a complex network of high-altitude tributaries and glacial lakes defines the landscape. In this 2011 survey, the orientation of travel is dictated by the river valley and rugged landmarks like Snell Mountain and Himes Peak. The map highlights a significant infrastructure for wilderness access, including the Mirror Lake Trailhead, Big Fish Trailhead, and Lost Lakes - Pagoda Trailhead.

Hydrological features are particularly dense, ranging from the Anderson Reservoir to natural basins like Sable Lake, Rainbow Lake, and the remote Lake of the Woods. Road access is limited to Co RD 8 and Co RD 8a, which provide the primary entry points for those utilizing the Himes Peak Campground. This document preserves the modern state of these primitive routes and recreational sites, such as Lily Pond Park and Picket Pin Park, before subsequent environmental changes or management shifts.
