1966 Map of Triangle Park

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

White River National Forest lands dominate this mid-century survey of the high country along the Rio Blanco and Garfield County line. The landscape is defined by a series of high mesas and flat-bottomed parks, including Coulter Mesa and the eponymous Triangle Park. Human activity is concentrated along the New Castle Buford Road, where recreation and ranching converge at sites like Mud Spring Ranch and Three Forks Campground. The presence of several corral sites and numerous trails, such as the Pack Trail and Jeep Trail, suggests a working landscape utilized for livestock and backcountry access. Water resources are varied, ranging from the small Dynamite Lake and Corbett Lake to the headwaters of Rifle Creek and the East Fork North Elk Creek, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of this high-elevation plateau.
