2016 Map of Cutoff Gulch

About this map

Davis Point and Barnes Ridge define the high elevations of this western Colorado landscape along the boundary of Rio Blanco and Garfield Counties. This 2016 survey documents a complex system of drainage and relief, where the southern portion is dominated by the headwaters of W Fork Parachute Cr and the cascading waters at West Fork Falls. To the north, the terrain is characterized by a dense network of gulches feeding into the Stewart Gulch system, including West Fork Stewart Gulch and East Fork Stewart Gulch. The names on the land, such as Connley Gulch, Litchliter Gulch, and Prechtle Gulch, reflect the localized history of the region. Essential water sources for the area are noted through features like Barnes Spring, Broad Spring, and Crouch Spring.
