About this map

Bradford lies at the southern edge of this landscape, where the terrain transitions toward the high reaches of the San Isabel National Forest. This 2016 survey highlights a complex drainage system defined by the Wet Mountain Valley and deep incisions like Cottonwood Canyon and Devils Gulch. The hydrologic character of the area is underscored by numerous named water sources, including Patton Spring, Bailey Spring, and Mud Spring, which feed into the forks of Muddy Creek.

Navigating the high ground, Promontory Divide stands as a central topographic landmark, while smaller features like Devils Hole and Ute Log Gulch speak to the local naming traditions of this part of southern Colorado. The map traces a modern network of ranch and forest access roads, such as Centennial Ranch Rd and Pass Peak Rd, which provide context for the contemporary land use and property boundaries between Huerfano and Custer counties.
