The town of Crested Butte sits at the northern edge of this high-altitude landscape, where Coal Creek joins the Slate River valley. The 2011 survey details a complex irrigation and mining history, shown through a dense network of water management features like the Halazon Ditch, Verzuh Ditch, and Dillsworth Ditch. These human-engineered channels contrast with the natural drainage of Farris Creek and the East River.
