About this map

The White River carves a deep valley through this corner of Rio Blanco County, defining a landscape dominated by complex drainage systems and high plateaus. In the northern reaches, the Coal Oil Basin and Raven Ridge suggest a geological character that has historically drawn interest for its resource potential. The terrain is marked by numerous seasonal waterways such as Shavetail Wash, Hardaway Draw, and Big Trujillo Wash, which descend toward the primary river corridor.

Evidence of local ranching or grazing infrastructure appears at Shavetail Park, while the prominent landmark of Banty Point stands over the western boundary. Human movement through this environment is channeled along the river valley via Co RD 2 and through the canyons on Co RD 102, illustrating the enduring relationship between the area's natural topography and its essential transportation routes.
