2022 Map of Trappers Lake

About this map

Trappers Lake and the high wilderness of the Flat Tops dominate this 2022 survey, illustrating the boundary between White River National Forest and Routt National Forest. The map documents a dramatic alpine landscape defined by massive escarpments like the Chinese Wall and the Amphitheatre. Unlike maps of developed valleys, this sheet focuses on the complex network of backcountry routes, including the Arthur H. Carhart Trl, named for the forest planner whose work here helped establish the national wilderness system. High-elevation water bodies like Wall Lake, Crescent Lake, and Mirror Lake are scattered among peaks such as Shingle Peak and Sheep Mtn. The detailed contouring and trail placement, such as the W Mountain Trl, reveal the hydrological origins of the S Fork White River and S Fork Derby Cr.
