About this map

Ruedi Overlook stands high above the northern waters of Ruedi Reservoir, a central landmark in this high-elevation landscape where the Fryingpan River flows west toward the county line. The map reveals a complex network of forest roads and trails, such as the Arbaney-Kittle and Kobey Park Link, which traverse the high meadows and ridges of the White River National Forest.

The small settlement of Lenado is situated in the southern reach of the quadrangle along Woody Cr, representing a pocket of development amidst the steep drainage basins of Collins Cr and Johnson Cr. Water management is evident through features like the Salvation Ditch, which cuts across the western slopes. From the high peaks of Larkspur Mtn to the depths of Red Canyon, the terrain is defined by its verticality and the various gulches and creeks that feed the reservoir system.
