About this map

McPhee Reservoir dominates the western edge of this Colorado landscape, where a sophisticated network of small-scale water management defines the high country. In this 2011 survey, the terrain is characterized by dozens of named reservoirs—such as Spur Reservoir, Railroad Reservoir, and Phoneline Reservoir—that supported the region's livestock and timber industries. Evidence of historic industrial activity is visible at Rusts Sawmill, located near Bean Reservoir.

The landscape is deeply etched by canyons and draws, including Boggy Draw and Italian Canyon, which provide natural corridors through the varied elevation. Small springs like Peel Spring and Horse Barn Spring indicate the critical importance of water sources in this environment. To the south, the settlement at Stapleton serves as a lone residential marker in a region primarily dedicated to resource management and forest service access via routes like FS RD 527 and RD 528.
