About this map

Sunnyside Creek and the North Fork Cedar Creek define the high drainage patterns of this Eagle County landscape, where water management is etched into the terrain. The presence of Winslow Dam in the north and the South Derby Ditch in the southwest highlights the critical role of irrigation and water storage in supporting the high-elevation ranching and agricultural life near the Colorado River.

Evidence of local navigation and land use is found along the Derby Mesa Loop and Sunnyside Rd, which connect isolated creek valleys. Landmarks such as Hangmans Rock near Fargo Gulch suggest a localized geography shaped by oral history and specific natural formations. The map provides a clear record of these drainage systems, from the branching of Cedar Creek to the deep draws of Pump Gulch, capturing the rural infrastructure of the early twenty-first century.
