About this map

The confluence of the Colorado River and the Eagle River serves as the focal point of this 2010 topographic record, where the settlement of Dotsero marks a critical junction for transportation and industry. The landscape is defined by its deep drainages and industrial footprints, including the Dotsero Quarry, Avon Pit, and the Deep Creek Mine. These extraction sites, alongside the Blowout Hill Mine, suggest a long history of geological utilization in the area.

Upland terrain features such as Dotsero Crater and Hells Gate provide distinct landmarks for navigators and historians alike. The presence of the Dotsero Cemetery near the river junction offers a specific site for genealogical interest. Tracing the paths of Colorado River Rd and the multiple branches of Trail Gulch Road, one can see how the topography has dictated the movement of goods and people between the river valleys and the high ridges of Onion Ridge and Monegar Ridge.
