About this map

White River National Forest lands dominate this high-altitude terrain, where the peaks of Sugarloaf Mtn and Little Sugarloaf Mtn overlook a complex network of drainage basins. The landscape is defined by its deep hydrological system, featuring the headwaters of numerous creeks including E Fork Red Dirt Cr and W Fork Sheep Cr as they move toward the southern edge of the sheet. Notable landmarks like the Natural Bridge and Derby Mesa provide clear topographical orientation for those studying the area's natural history.

Transportation through the forest is documented via an extensive series of administrative and historic routes, such as the Ute - Sweetwater Trl and Sweetwater Rd. These paths navigate the steep transitions from elevated ridges down to Willow Lake and Horse Lake. Along the eastern boundary, Porphyry Mtn stands as a distinct geological marker, while the southern margin of the survey reaches the banks of the Colorado River, showing the connection between the high forest trails and the region's primary waterway.
