2019 Map of Calf Canyon

About this map

Pike Ridge and the high plateaus of Garfield County define this high-altitude landscape, where deep drainages like Hells Hole Canyon and Calf Canyon carve through the plateau. This 2019 survey documents a region defined by public land management and rugged topography, marked by prominent landmarks such as Upper 4A Mtn and Calf Point. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal water sources and canyons, including McKay Canyon and Buck Canyon, which feed into larger systems like E Salt Cr to the south. Co HWY 256 provides the primary transit corridor across the northern sections, connecting isolated open spaces like Bear Park and Williams Park. This modern topographic study is a detailed record of water security in an arid environment, highlighting vital points like Barrel Spring and the associated Barrel Spring Cr drainage system.
