About this map

The high plateau country of western Colorado is defined here by the meeting of Rio Blanco and Garfield counties, where the drainage network of the Piceance Basin carves deep into the landscape. Twin Buttes stands as a prominent landmark amidst a complex series of canyons including Round Mountain Canyon and Wolf Canyon. These drainages feed into the larger system of Big Foundation Cr and W Douglas Cr, reflecting a terrain shaped by seasonal water and high-elevation erosion.

Remote infrastructure consists primarily of isolated tracks such as Douglas Pass Rd and Foundation Cr Rd, which follow the natural contours of the draws and canyon floors. The map reveals the intricate geography of the region, from the northern reaches of Texas Draw and Rope Canyon to the southern landscape of Sawmill Canyon and Deer Canyon. This 2022 survey provides a clear view of the public land survey system lines across Townships 3, 4, and 5 South, documenting the current state of this managed wilderness area.
