2019 Map of Castor Gulch

About this map

Craig South Highlands sits at the northern edge of this landscape, where residential expansion meets the high-country drainages of Northwest Colorado. The northern boundary is defined by the Yampa River and its associated floodplain, including the wide Big Bottom and water management features like the Deep Cut Ditch and the Craig Holding and Evaporation Reservoir. To the south, the terrain rises sharply toward the Williams Fork Mountains, a region carved by a dense network of topographic features including Horse Gulch, Stock Pass Gulch, and Castor Gulch. This 2019 survey documents a distinct transition from the transportation hub of the Craig-Moffat Airport to the working ranchlands and rugged vertical relief of the Williams Fork drainage system, illustrating the intersection of civil infrastructure and difficult high-desert terrain.
