About this map

The Elk River serves as the central artery for this portion of Routt County, carving a path between significant peaks such as McAlpin Mountain and Mount Pau. This 2011 survey illustrates a landscape defined by its water management and ranching infrastructure, with several notable irrigation systems including the Murphy Ditch, Keller Ditch, and Sand Creek Ditch supporting the valley floor. The small settlements of Clark and Glen Eden act as local hubs along County Rd 129, which follows the river's course.

Local industry is represented by the Greenville Mine located on the eastern slopes, while the natural terrain transitions from the broad Dutch Gulch to the dramatic confines of Impassable Canyon and Taylor Canyon. The presence of the Moon Hill Bridge and various family-named features like Mount Candy suggests a long-standing pattern of high-country settlement and exploration. This document provides a clear view of how high-altitude hydrology and transportation networks remained vital to the region's character into the early 21st century.
