About this map

White River National Forest and Routt National Forest meet at a high-elevation boundary in this part of Northwest Colorado. The landscape is defined by its water management and transit routes, featuring reservoirs such as Cove Lake Reservoir and Konopik Reservoir that capture runoff from the high ridges. These reservoirs and the Owen-Carrigan Ditch illustrate the complex local irrigation and water storage systems required for the high plateau country.

Transit through this high country is marked by a network of named trails and ridges, including the Milk Creekhorse Ridge Trail and Wilson Mesa / Sleepy Cat Peak Trail. Prominent geological landmarks like Sleepy Cat Peak, Horse Ridge, and Baldy Mtn dominate the topography, providing a detailed record of the drainage patterns for creeks like Milk Cr and Morapos Cr before they cross the Moffat Co Rio Blanco Co line.
