2016 Map of Coalmont

About this map

Coalmont and Hebron anchor this high-altitude landscape in Jackson County, where an intricate web of irrigation infrastructure defines the local geography. The map reveals a complex network of water management, featuring numerous named canals like the Grizzly Extension Ditch and the Marr Ditch Number 1 that draw from Little Grizzly Cr and other mountain streams. This reliance on hydraulic engineering is a hallmark of Colorado's ranching history, as seen in the sprawling wetlands and ditches that crisscross the terrain between Pole Mtn and the valley floor. Researchers can trace historic land divisions through the Public Land Survey System grids, which encompass several townships including t7n r81w. Significant water bodies such as Petry Lake, Fuller Reservoir, and Pole Mountain Lake serve as vital landmarks within this hydraulic system, illustrating how water rights and movement shaped the development of these North Park communities.
