2012 Map of Birdseye Pass

About this map

Birdseye Pass serves as a central landmark in this high-altitude landscape of Fremont County, where drainage systems define the rugged geography. The area's ranching heritage is anchored by sites like Birdseye Ranch and Axtel Rnch, which are connected by a network of essential routes including Birdseye Rd and Copper Mountain Rd. Waterways such as Grass Cr, Jones Cr, and Tough Cr carve through the terrain, illustrating the critical role of seasonal and permanent creeks in supporting the local livestock industry. The presence of Birdseye Mountain provides a prominent geological reference point for understanding the physical orientation of this region, which remains sparsely populated and dedicated to agricultural use. This survey documents the intersection of physical geography and high-country ranching life in the early 21st century.
