About this map

White River National Forest lands dominate this part of Rio Blanco County, where the high country is defined by the prominent Sawmill Mountain and the expansive drainage basin of Big Beaver Cr. The map shows a landscape etched by intricate water management and travel routes, from the industrial-minded Coal Cr Feeder Ditch to a network of county roads including Co Road 49 and Co Road 40. These routes connect remote grazing and water resources such as Hay Park and Big Lick Reservoir.

The terrain is dissected by numerous named watercourses like Dickerville Cr and Sawmill Cr, which flow through the forested elevations. Trails such as the West Coal Creek Trail 2261 and South Coal Ridge Trail 2622.1 suggest long-established access for forestry and high-altitude recreation. The southern edge of the sheet is marked by the unique geological or ecological feature known as Big Licks, situated near Oak Ridge.
