2011 Map of Cottonwood Pass

About this map

Cottonwood Pass and the high ridge of the Cottonwood Divide anchor this high-elevation landscape in Garfield County. The drainage network is defined by numerous gulches and creeks, including Sawmill Gulch, Fitzpatrick Gulch, and the winding Cottonwood Creek which flows toward the Colorado River in the northwest. Water management is a central feature of the southern terrain, where Von Springs Reservoir Number 1 and Von Springs Reservoir Number 2 are held by their respective dams. The map illustrates a network of mountain transit routes such as the Cottonwood Pass Rd and Red Table Mountain Rd, providing access to distinct landmarks like The Eagle Nest and Gobbler Knob. These features suggest a landscape utilized for water storage and seasonal transit through the high country.
