About this map

High plateaus and deep drainage networks characterize this portion of the Western Slope, where the terrain is dominated by prominent landforms such as Pike Ridge and Calf Point. The landscape is intricately carved by numerous canyons, including Calf Canyon, Hells Hole Canyon, and Corral Canyon. This 2022 survey captures the remote character of the region, showing how seasonal water sources like Barrel Spring and drainages such as Roan Cr and E Salt Cr define the hydrologic pattern of the high desert environment.

Elevated basins like Williams Park and Bear Park offer rare level ground amidst the steep descents of McKay Canyon and Buck Canyon. The only major infrastructure noted is CO Hwy 256, which traverses the northern sections. For researchers, the map provides a clear record of established land divisions and geographic landmarks that have long served as touchstones for livestock management and backcountry navigation.
