2019 Map of Bull Fork

About this map

Puddin Ridge stands as a prominent divide in this high-altitude drainage basin, where the Rio Blanco Co Garfield Co line bisects the complex network of deep-cut gulches. The terrain is defined by a dense radial drainage pattern feeding into the Bull Fork and W Fork Parachute Cr. The landscape is largely undeveloped, marked primarily by a few backcountry access routes like C R 87 and Co Rd 49. These roads wind through the headwaters of numerous seasonal streams, including Whiskey Gulch and Little Dry Gulch, indicating a region primarily utilized for range management or resource extraction. The intricate topography shown here illustrates the rugged watershed character of the Western Slope, with elevations and natural contours dictating the placement of primitive trails and boundaries.
