About this map

The Routt National Forest and White River National Forest converge on this high-altitude landscape, where managed water resources define the local terrain. The Finger Rock Fish Hatchery is a prominent landmark in the northeast, positioned near the settlement of Trapper. This area is characterized by significant water engineering, including the Roaring Fork Ditch and Meore Ditch, which redirect snowmelt and runoff across the complex topography of Porcupine Ridge and Five Pine Mesa.

Irrigation and conservation efforts are evident through a network of small upland reservoirs such as Egeria Creek Reservoir, Sierner Reservoir, and Crosson Reservoir. These basins support the agricultural and ecological needs of Egeria Park at the foot of King Mountain. The map also details early transportation traces, including the 4wd tracks that provided access to isolated areas like Moore Park before modern improvements.
