About this map

The Colorado River carves through the southern half of this landscape, marking the transition between the Routt and Eagle County line. The small settlement of Dell sits near the river's edge, shadowed by the prominent heights of King Mtn to the north and Pisgah Mtn to the southeast. This high-altitude terrain is defined by a complex network of water management, featuring several named catchments such as Grimes Brooks Reservoir, Waller Reservoir, and Wohler Reservoir.

Remote roads like BLM King Mtn Rd and Lincoln St provide access to the various gulches and creeks, including Egeria Cr and Red Dirt Cr. The presence of Balanced Rock Spring and the namesake Blue Hill suggests a landscape of significant geological interest, where water sources and topographic landmarks served as essential reference points for local navigation and land use in this part of the Colorado interior.
