All wilderness maps contain contour lines and a topographic quad index, and the vast majority contain planning tips and contact phone numbers.

Sharing the western and northern borders of the Cedar Breaks National Monumnet, Ashdown Gorge Wilderness desplays eroded, multicolored Claron limestone, meadows, and forestland including a signifcant stand of bristlecone pine, known as the Twisted Forest, in the northern corner. Bristlecones are among the oldest living life-forms, and some of the trees in this Wilderness were alive during the time of Christ. The area is home to a diversity of wildlife. Creeks run year-round. Elevations range from 8,000 feet to 10,400 feet and winter snows often add spectacular highlights to thecolorful stone formations.
