The town of Collbran and nearby Plateau City sit at the northern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where Plateau Creek and Buzzard Creek converge. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation shifts, from the broad expanse of Kansas Mesa to the prominent heights of Sugarloaf Peak and Old Man Mountain. Water management is central to this environment, evidenced by the intricate system of the Berthold Updike and Landon Ditch and the Silver Gage Ditch which trace the contours of the slopes to support local ranching.
