About this map

The Roaring Fork River cuts through this Colorado landscape, flanked by a complex system of agricultural irrigation that includes the Glenwood Ditch, Atkinson Ditch, and Kaiser-Sievers Ditch. This 2013 survey illustrates the intersection of recreation and ranching, with the Sunlight Ski Area and White River National Forest dominating the western terrain while the Crystal River Ranch and the small settlement of Cattle Creek occupy the valley floors.

Upland features such as Dry Park and Babbish Gulch provide a clear view of the drainage patterns feeding into the main river corridor. The presence of the Sweet Jessup Canal and the Hughes Reservoir further highlights the managed water resources essential for this high-altitude environment. Transport routes like Co Road 163 and the Old Fourmile Trail 300.2D connect the valley floor to the higher reaches of the national forest and the ski slopes at Sunlight Ski Area.
