About this map

Green Mountain Reservoir serves as a northern anchor on this landscape, with its eastern shoreline traced by several public recreation spots including McDonald Flats Campground, Prairie Point Campground, and Davis Spring Campground. The Blue River flows southeast through the heart of the terrain, flanked by the Williams Fork Mountains to the northeast and the Gore Range to the southwest. This 1980s data highlights the preservation of the landscape through the Blue River State Wildlife Area and the Eagles Nest Wilderness.

Researchers and genealogists can trace the small settlement of Slate Creek and numerous family-named landmarks like Laskey Gulch, Miller Gulch, and Mc Kinley Gulch. The map records a network of historical transit routes, from the established Gore Range Trail to various unnamed pack trails and a Gaging Station on the river, reflecting the region's management of water resources and wilderness access.
