2013 Map of Black Cabin Gulch

About this map

Cathedral Bluffs dominate the western edge of this Rio Blanco County landscape, overlooking a complex system of drainages including Horse Pasture Canyon and Bowman Canyon. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, with Airplane Ridge in the north and Wagonroad Ridge in the south flanking the central Black Cabin Gulch. A network of unpaved county routes, such as Co Road 103 and Co Road 68, provides access through this high-country environment. The hydrological pattern is notable for its numerous named draws and gulches, including Tommys Draw and Galloway Gulch, which feed into larger arteries like Cathedral Creek and Willow Creek. This 2013 survey illustrates a landscape primarily shaped by natural topography and a sparse, functional road network suited for land management and resource access.
