2019 Map of Sleepy Cat Peak

About this map

White River National Forest and Routt National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape along the Moffat and Rio Blanco County line. The map reveals a complex network of water management features, including the Owen-Carrigan Reservoir, Cove Lake Reservoir, and the Owen-Carrigan Ditch, which redirect snowmelt across the divide. Dominating the topography is the massive Sleepy Cat Peak and the high expanse of Wilson Mesa. Historical transit routes like the Konopic Cutoff and Winslet Cutoff suggest long-established patterns of travel through these mountains. Remote peaks such as Baldy Mtn and Three Points Mtn provide significant vertical relief, while names like Shell Rock and Horse Ridge reflect the descriptive language of early surveyors and ranchmen who first named these landmarks.
