1977 Map of Sweetwater Lake

USGS Topo · Published 1978

About this map

White River National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in Colorado, characterized by the dramatic escarpments of the Flat Tops. The 1970s survey captures a region primarily managed for timber and recreation, with the Flat Tops Wilderness area protecting the northern plateaus. Water management and seasonal grazing are central to the area's geography, evidenced by the Sweetwater Guard Sta and the Hilltop Ranch located near the eastern shore of Sweetwater Lake. The map details a complex network of access routes, including the Tenmile Park Lower Short Jeep Trail and numerous named pack trails like the Ute Trail. These paths connect scattered water sources and family-named landmarks such as Johnny Meyers Lake, Darnell, and Gruner, reflecting the enduring footprint of ranching and early forest management in Garfield County.
