About this map

Colorado River drainage patterns define the central landscape of this Colorado survey, where the river winds through steep topography between Derby Mesa and the expansive White River National Forest. The small community of Burns sits at the northeastern corner, serving as a primary point of reference in a region dominated by high-elevation landforms like Greenhorn Mtn and Black Mtn.

Resource management and water distribution are evident through features such as the S Derby Ditch and the secluded Price Reservoir in the southern reaches. An extensive network of forest service roads and trails, including Red Dirt Creek Rd and Albertson Rd, crisscrosses the high plateaus and gulches. This document provides a clear view of the area's geography, from the named cattle flats at Jack Flats to the prominent rising of Big Red Hill, capturing the intersection of public forest lands and established river settlements.
