2019 Map of Coalmont

About this map

Coalmont and Hebron anchor this North Park landscape, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation and water management. The map reveals an intricate system of ditches—such as Darby Ditch, Little Grizzly Ditch, and Marr Ditch Number 1—that divert water from sources like Little Grizzly Cr to support the local ranching economy. This reliance on water rights is further evidenced by several high-country catchments including Petry Lake, Fuller Reservoir, and Mexican Reservoir. To the southwest, the prominence of Pole Mtn and Pole Mountain Lake marks the transition from the flatter valley floors toward the surrounding ridges. The survey captures a region where the geography of the land is fundamentally shaped by the flow of water through engineered channels like the Mutual Ditch and Spicer Ditch, illustrating how human infrastructure integrates with the natural drainage of the Jackson County basin.
