2000 Map of Slide Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2004

About this map

Routt National Forest dominates this high-country landscape at the turn of the millennium, where the boundary between Moffat and Routt counties follows the natural drainage divides. The topography is defined by prominent peaks like Slide Mountain and Buck Mountain, alongside the striking geological formation known as The Dike near Bears Ears. Water management is a visible priority in this arid environment, evidenced by the presence of Anderson Reservoir and an extensive network of irrigation infrastructure including the Tipton Ditch and Mc Kinlay Ditch. These man-made channels divert water from natural flows like Elkhead Creek and North Fork Elkhead Creek to support lower-elevation ranching and agriculture. Recreational and access routes are sparse, primarily limited to the historic Bears Ears Trail and a series of four-wheel drive roads that navigate the complex system of gulches, such as Long Gulch and Cottonwood Gulch.
