1980 Map of Sheephorn Mountain

About this map

Sheephorn Mountain stands as the central landmark of this high-elevation landscape where the borders of Grand, Eagle, and Summit counties converge. The 1980s terrain is characterized by a network of drainage systems, including Sheephorn Creek, Beaver Creek, and the headwaters of the North Fork Deep Creek. Evidence of local history and small-scale land use appears in the Sheephorn Cem and scattered sites like the Gravel Pit and various unnamed quarries. Much of the southern portion of the map is protected within the White River National Forest and Arapaho National Forest, where the topography rises toward Dice Hill and Sheep Mountain. The map shows a transition from the narrow Corduroy Canyon and Hartman Gulch to higher alpine lakes, such as Gutzler Lakes, accessible via a series of Jeep trails that navigate the steep divides.
