About this map

Henderson Mill and its associated industrial infrastructure anchor this high-altitude landscape along the border of Grand and Summit Counties. The complex operations include a massive Tailings Pond, the Henderson Tunnel, and a network of water management features such as the Aboveground Aqueduct, Siphon, and Pumping Station. This development sits within the drainage of the Williams Fork, where the East Branch Reservoir and Ute Creek Reservoir support local water requirements.

Arapaho National Forest encompasses the surrounding peaks, including Ute Peak and Prairie Mountain. Recreational and transit history is visible through the South Fork Campground and historic routes like the Ute Pass Trail and various Pack Trails. The presence of Trails End Ranch near the Middle Fork illustrates the late 20th-century mix of industrial mining, ranching, and forest management in this part of the Williams Fork Mountains.
