2000 Map of Tyler Mountain

About this map

Tyler Mountain rises as the central landmark in this high-country landscape at the beginning of the twenty-first century, marking the boundary where Routt National Forest meets Arapaho National Forest. The map documents a rugged drainage network defined by the Sarvis Creek Wilderness to the west and the intricate forks of Red Dirt Creek and North Fork Deer Creek. Water management and natural flow dominate the terrain, from the Red Dirt Reservoir, also identified as Mc Mahon Res No 2, to the artificial channel of the Smith Ditch. This era of the landscape is characterized by its recreational and conservation designations, including the Silver Creek Trail and various unpaved 4WD routes that penetrate the forest. Localized human activity is visible at Kasdorf and several Gravel Pits, illustrating the modest infrastructure supporting this mountain region.
