2016 Map of Tyler Mountain

About this map

Tyler Mountain and the eastern flanks of the Gore Range dominate this high-country landscape within Grand County. The map reveals an intricate network of water management and forest service infrastructure, where Arapaho National Forest and Routt National Forest meet. Numerous water bodies, including Red Dirt Reservoir, Rudolph Reservoir, and Oaks Reservoir, are connected by a system of creeks and man-made features like Smith Ditch. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, flowing from peaks down through Buffalo Park and into drainages such as Red Dirt Cr and N Fork Pass Cr. For those tracing historical land use or backcountry access, the map highlights primitive routes like the Rock Creek Trail and local roads including Red Dirt Rd, illustrating how these high-elevation forests were navigated and managed in the early 21st century.
