About this map

Puddin Ridge and the complex drainage systems of the Bull Fork dominate this early 1970s survey of the high plateau country along the Rio Blanco and Garfield County line. The landscape is defined by its deep canyons and gulches, including Whiskey Gulch, Camp Gulch, and Stewart Gulch, which feed into larger watercourses like the West Fork Parachute Creek.

Evidence of resource exploration and land management is scattered throughout the terrain, indicated by numerous Drill Holes and Prospects. A network of Jeep Trails provides the primary access through this remote area, connecting high-elevation springs to the valley floors. This map captures the industrial and topographical state of the region during a period of active geological investigation, documenting the exact placement of water sources like Wet Fork and East Willow Creek before modern developments altered the local backcountry.
