About this map

Brushy Point stands as a prominent landmark in this high-altitude landscape along the border of Rio Blanco and Garfield Counties. The terrain is defined by a complex network of drainages and ridges, where E Douglas Cr and its tributaries like Sucker Cr carve through the plateau. Water sources are critical identifiers in this environment, marked by sites such as Brushy Point Spring, Ponderosa Spring, and Big Spring at the head of Big Spring Draw.

The map details a region of significant elevation changes, from the heights of Scare Mtn and Ponderosa Point down into deeply recessed features like Wildhorse Canyon and Rope Canyon. Modern infrastructure is represented by Co RD 120 and Co RD 27, providing access to the more remote stretches of Pike Ridge and Upper 4A Mtn. This document serves as a precise guide to the topographical character of the western Colorado backcountry.
