2016 Map of Trapper

About this map

Routt National Forest and White River National Forest dominate this high-country landscape, where complex water management systems define the land use. The presence of the Roaring Fork Ditch and Five Pine Mesa Ditch highlights a sophisticated history of irrigation and water diversion across the undulating terrain of Five Pine Mesa and Porcupine Ridge. Near the settlement of Trapper, several substantial water bodies including Roberta Reservoir, Sterner Reservoir, and Egeria Creek Reservoir anchor the local watershed. The southern portion of the sheet features the Ute Sunnyside Trail winding through the forest near King Mtn, reflecting the area's dual character as both a working landscape for water resources and a recreational wilderness area within Egeria Park.
