2013 Map of Sheephorn Mountain

About this map

Sheephorn Mountain dominates the central landscape of this high-elevation region where the borders of Grand, Eagle, and Summit counties converge. The 2013 survey illustrates a land primarily dedicated to resource management and ranching, with the southern portion of the map falling within the White River National Forest. Human activity is marked by isolated homesteads and ranching sites like Doenz Place, Noonan Ranch, and Smith Ranch, reflecting the enduring agricultural character of the high country. Water management is evident through a network of diversions and impoundments, including the Noonan Ditch, Jones Reservoir, and Christenson Reservoir. The topography is defined by dramatic shifts in elevation from Harriman Gulch to the summit of Sheep Mountain, while drainage is provided by several tributaries such as North Spruce Creek and the headwaters of Sheephorn Creek.
