About this map

Atchee Ridge and Rector Ridge dominate this high-altitude landscape in Garfield County, defining a complex system of drainage and erosion at the edge of the Colorado-Utah border. The 2011 survey illustrates how geography dictates movement through this area, with Atchee Ridge Rd following the crest of the high ground, providing the primary access route between the deep incisions of Dragon Canyon and Atchee Canyon.

Water systems like Evacuation Creek and its tributary, West Evacuation Creek, carve their way through the northeast, while the southern reaches are marked by more isolated drainages such as Whiskey Creek and Little Whiskey Creek. Notable topographical landmarks like Displacement Point and Indian Spring Ridge provide essential orientation for researchers and land managers navigating this intricate network of canyons and ridges.
