2022 Map of Ruedi Reservoir

About this map

Ruedi Reservoir dominates the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where the Fryingpan River was impounded within the White River National Forest. The map documents a complex network of canyons and high parks, including the sprawling Red Canyon and the elevated meadows of Kobey Park. These upland areas are connected by numerous specialized paths such as the Arbaney-Kittle Tri and the Sloane Cut-Off Tri, reflecting the area's transition from traditional ranching and mountain access to modern recreational use. High points like Vagneur Mtn and Ford Peak overlook a system of drainages including Bear Cr and Little Woody Cr. In the southwest, the presence of the Salvation Ditch near Creek Mesa and Paradise Mesa illustrates the essential role of water management in sustaining activity on these high plateaus.
