About this map

Scare Mountain and Pike Ridge define the high country of this Colorado landscape, where the Garfield and Rio Blanco county line cuts through a complex system of drainages and peaks. The map reveals a land shaped by deep erosive features, from the broad Brushy Point Draw to the confined corridors of Wildhorse Canyon and Decker Canyon. Water sources are critical points in this arid environment, marked by Ponderosa Spring and Big Spring.

Trail Canyon Lodge stands out as a rare point of human infrastructure amidst the topographical relief of Brushy Point and Ponderosa Point. The local road network, including CO Road 27 and Little Burma Rd, follows the natural contours of the creeks and draws. This 2013 survey provides a detailed look at the hydrology of the region, showing the headwaters of East Douglas Creek and the divergent paths of Left Fork Lake Creek and Right Fork Lake Creek.
