About this map

East Fork Woody Creek and Woody Creek define the complex drainage patterns of this Garfield County landscape. This 1960s survey records a network of water management features, including several small reservoirs marked by Spillway Elev 2532, Spillway Elev 2639, and Spillway Elev 2507. These structures point to the area's essential reliance on seasonal runoff collection for ranching and livestock.

The presence of numerous wells and named coulees such as Seven Tree Coulee and Spring Coulee further illustrates the topographic character of this high plains region. While large settlements are absent, the map notes the distance to the Flat Creek School 7 Mi. to the north, anchoring this isolated terrain within its rural social framework. Other watercourses like Redbank Coulee and Kelly Creek weave through the township divisions, marking the vital infrastructure of this mid-century grazing land.
