2010 Map of Circle Dot Gulch

About this map

The Farmer Mutual Mine sits at the southwestern edge of this high-plateau landscape, where the headwaters of several drainages carve deep into the Garfield County terrain. This area is defined by its complex network of named gulches and canyons, including the central Circle Dot Gulch and the dramatic Cascade Canyon. The eastern portion of the sheet reveals significant 20th-century water management infrastructure along the Parachute Creek valley, where the Jangle Ditch, Low Cost Ditch, and Granlee Ditch trace the contours of the slopes to direct water. Notable high points like Jackrabbit Ridge, Davis Point, and Red Point offer orientation across a landscape primarily used for resource extraction and ranching, connected by the lone corridor of County Hwy 213.
