About this map

Cathedral Bluffs dominate the northwestern horizon of this Rio Blanco County landscape, overlooking a complex system of drainages that define the high plateau country. The terrain is marked by a distinctive network of draws and gulches, including the intricate branching of Tommys Draw and the long descent of Black Cabin Gulch. High points like Black Cabin Point and the prominent Wagonroad Ridge in the southeast provide essential landmarks for navigating this remote region.

Water is a seasonal but critical presence, with Cathedral Cr and Wet Switzer Cr cutting through the lower elevations. The map reveals the infrastructure of the Piceance Basin through a grid of county roads such as Co RD 103 and Co RD 128, which follow the natural contours of canyons like Horse Pasture Canyon. These routes trace the movement of livestock and resource management across the diverse topography of the t2s r100w and t3s r99w townships.
