2016 Map of Craig

About this map

The town of Craig sits at the intersection of high-desert terrain and river-valley agriculture, anchored by its proximity to the Yampa River. The landscape is defined by its drainage systems, including Fortification Cr and numerous gulches like Coon Gulch and Big Gulch that cut through the north-central uplands. Agricultural and industrial infrastructure is evident through the presence of the Wisconsin Ditch, Craig Ditch, and a significant powerline corridor to the east. Landforms such as Cedar Mtn and Pine Ridge Gulch provide distinct vertical relief against the expanding street grid of the city. Notable for local history and genealogy, the Craig Cem is clearly marked on the eastern edge of the settlement near Ashley Rd, while the Coyote Reservoir sits as a lonely water source in the western rangelands. The map reveals the intricate network of county roads, such as Co RD 22, that link the remote northern ridges back to the valley floor.
