About this map

Battle Mountain and Williams Peak anchor this high-elevation landscape in Summit County, defined by a complex network of water management features and seasonal drainage. The map highlights a series of small-scale impoundments including Langholen Reservoir, Cole Reservoir, and Dale Reservoir, each supported by its respective Langholen Dam, Cole Dam, and Dale Dam. These structures suggest a legacy of water storage for local use, potentially linked to the area's agricultural or ranching history.

Transport and irrigation are central to the terrain, with Big Lake Ditch cutting across the northern reaches while a system of county roads, such as County Rd 331 and County Rd 313, provides access to the drainages of North Battle Creek and South Battle Creek. The dominance of named gulches and ridges like Brinker Gulch and Curtis Ridge reflects the partitioned nature of this Colorado mountain environment during the early 21st century.
