About this map

Deerlodge National Forest lands dominate the western portion of this Jefferson County landscape, where the terrain transitions into the steep drainages of Black Canyon and Cottonwood Cr. The central corridor is defined by the course of the Boulder River, which flows through a valley flanked by prominent elevations like Red Hill and Doherty Mtn.

Evidence of the region's ranching and transit history is found in the network of local routes such as Wilson Park Rd and Boulder Cutoff Rd. These roads connect scattered homesteads to the river valley, while seasonal waterways like McKenna Spring Cr and Conrow Cr feed into the larger river system. The southern portion of the map is marked by the distinct geology of Cottonwood Canyon, illustrating the relationship between the area's high-mountain forest and its lower riparian zones.
