About this map

The White River winds through the northern portion of this Rio Blanco County landscape, serving as a primary drainage for the surrounding high-elevation terrain. This survey illustrates a network of seasonal watercourses and topographic depressions, such as Short Gulch and Tom Little Draw, which feed into the larger river system. To the south, Piceance Cr and Yellow Cr define the lower drainage basins, while Alkali Flat suggests a distinct geological transition in the southeastern corner.

Remote county roads, including Co RD 88 and Co RD 20, provide the only significant access through these sections. The map's detail focuses on the natural landforms of the Pinto Gulch area, offering a precise view of the complex gulch and ridge systems that characterize this part of the Colorado Plateau. This data is essential for understanding water distribution and land management in a region defined by its significant relief and limited infrastructure.
