About this map

Davidson Flats characterizes the high-elevation basin of this region in Albany County, where complex drainage networks define the land use. The map reveals a transition from open flats to the protected timberlands of the Medicine Bow National Forest in the eastern and northern reaches. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by the Sturgeon Number 1 Reservoir and numerous named drainages such as Siebolt Cr and McFarlane Cr.

Topographic landmarks like Pine Mtn and the distinct Split Rock overlook a system of draws and creeks, including Wallace Draw and Mertz Draw. The presence of Duck Creek Falls along Duck Cr indicates the significant vertical relief found as these waters move through the canyon systems. This 2021 update preserves the contemporary alignment of rural corridors like Palmer Canyon Rd and Ashley Creek Rd as they navigate the high-plains terrain.
