About this map

White River National Forest defines the character of this high-elevation landscape along the border of Garfield and Pitkin counties. The area is marked by a complex network of canyons and gulches, including Aspen Gulch, Spring Gulch, and Marion Gulch, which drain toward a system of creeks like Beaver Creek and North Thompson Creek. Cultural markers of the region's industrial and local history are evident in the Thompson Cr Mine Air Tunnels and the Marion Cem.

Land management and resource extraction are visible through features such as Jerome Park and several named pipelines and wells, including Well No. 5. Recreation and travel across the ridges, such as Assignation Ridge and Stony Ridge, are facilitated by a series of established routes like the Middle Thompson Trail and the Lake Ridge Lakes Trail, connecting the high country to secluded spots like Willow Park and Parsnip Flat.
