2016 Map of Clark

About this map

The Elk River corridor defines the geography of this Routt County region, where the small communities of Clark and Glen Eden are established along Co Rte 129. The map documents a complex system of water management essential for high-altitude ranching and agriculture, featuring the Murphy Ditch, Frantz Ditch, and Sand Cr Ditch. This network of canals draws from the river and its tributaries to support the valley floor between the rising peaks of the Routt National Forest. To the west, McAlpin Mtn towers over Pond Lily Lakes, while the eastern terrain is marked by the dramatic descent of Willow Creek Canyon and Impassable Canyon. Local infrastructure like the Moon Hill Bridge and a network of county roads, including Moon Hill Rd and Meadows Rd, provide access to family-named landmarks like Mt Candy and Mt Pau.
