About this map

White River National Forest defines the high-elevation landscape of Eagle County in this 2016 record, dominated by the prominent peaks of The Seven Hermits and Hardscrabble Mtn. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of gulches and ridges, including the appropriately named Coffin Mtn and the sweeping Erickson Ridge. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the presence of numerous small-scale reservoirs and ditch systems such as McHatton Reservoir, Yates Reservoir, and the Love and White Ditch.

Resource-related labels like Schoolhouse Gulch and Sawmill Gulch point to the historic usage of these mountain valleys, while trails such as the McKenzie Gulch Trail and the Eagle Thomasville Rd trace the path of modern recreation and transport through the forest. The map captures a sophisticated network of mountain roads, from the Hardscrabble Mountain Rd to residential lanes like King's Pawn Dr, showing the intersection of public forest land and local development near the Eagle town limits.
