About this map

Sheephorn and its surrounding high-country terrain are meticulously documented in this survey of the northern Colorado Rockies, where the borders of Grand, Eagle, and Summit counties converge. The landscape is defined by significant elevations like Sheephorn Mtn, Sheep Mtn, and the distinctive Dice Hill, separated by drainages such as Sheephorn Cr and N Spruce Cr. These natural features, alongside Hartman Divide, illustrate the complex topography that historically influenced movement and settlement in the region.

Water management and ranching history are evident through features like Noonan Ditch, Griggs Reservoir, and Spring Creek Ranch. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the White River National Forest, emphasizing the transition from private ranch lands to protected wilderness. For the researcher, the network of local routes including Dice Hill Rd and Trough Rd provides a clear view of how these remote areas were navigated and utilized into the early twenty-first century.
