1980 Map of Sheephorn Mountain

About this map

Sheephorn Mountain and Sheep Mountain dominate the high-elevation boundary where Grand, Eagle, and Summit counties converge. This 1980 survey captures a landscape of intense relief and managed resources, transitioning from the high slopes of the White River National Forest to the Arapaho National Forest. Genealogists and local historians can locate the isolated Sheephorn Cem on the western slopes, a quiet marker of early settlement in this remote terrain. The map meticulously details the water management systems essential to high-country ranching and forestry, including the Noonan Ditch and several springs. Primitive travel is documented through a network of jeep trails and footpaths crossing Hartman Divide and Dice Hill, providing a clear record of 20th-century access to the peaks and valleys of the White River drainage.
