2024 Map of Chadborn

About this map

Chadborn sits at the heart of this Park County landscape, where the Shields River winds through a complex network of agricultural irrigation and mountain drainages. The map details an intricate water management system essential to the region's ranching heritage, featuring the Lower Shields Valley Ditch and Palmer Ditch. To the west, the rising elevations of Bangtail Ridge dominate the horizon, sending numerous seasonal and perennial flows like Canyon Creek and Brackett Creek down toward the valley floor. The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by the meandering path of Crazy Head Creek and the North Fork Willow Creek, illustrating the transition from high-country ridges to fertile basin land. Numerous family and ranch-named roads, including W Grannis Rd and Mc Niven Rd, provide a modern record of the local geography and land use patterns.
