About this map

Stump Peak rises as a primary landmark in this corner of the Caribou Range, where high-elevation drainage patterns define the territory. The landscape is characterized by a complex network of waterways, with Stump Creek and its North Fork flowing south, while Tincup Creek and the South Fork Tincup Creek navigate the northern reaches through Bear Canyon. These canyons and creek beds provided the natural corridors for early travel through the mountains, including the route over the strikingly named Suicide Pass.

Evidence of modern land management and recreation appears at the Pine Bar Campground along the northern road corridor. Traces of historical movement are preserved in the naming of features like Lander Creek and Lanes Creek, which suggest the path of early pioneers and trappers. From Marshall Canyon in the northeast to the descent of Flat Valley Creek in the southwest, the map provides a clear picture of the physical geography used by researchers and outdoorsmen to navigate this high-country terrain.
