2022 Map of Trapper

About this map

Trapper and the wide meadows of Egeria Park define this high-altitude landscape in southern Routt County, situated between the Routt National Forest and the White River National Forest. The map documents an extensive network of water management features essential to high-country ranching and agriculture, including the Roaring Fork Ditch, Five Pine Mesa Ditch, and a series of high-plateau storage points such as Roberta Reservoir and Sterner Reservoir. These systems divert water from the Bear River and Egeria Cr to support the varied terrain of Five Pine Mesa and Porcupine Ridge. Settlement remains sparse, concentrated near Moore Park and the small station at Trapper, where local roads like Chimney Creek and Lincoln St connect isolated ranching tracts. For those interested in regional history, the Ute - Sunnyside Trl marks an established route across the rugged southern slopes of King Mtn.
