About this map

Douglas Pass serves as the central topographic focal point in this 2013 Garfield County landscape, where the Co-139 highway winds through complex relief to bridge the divide between distinct drainage systems. To the north, the headwaters of West Douglas Creek and its tributary East Branch West Salt Creek carve into the high plateaus, while the southern slopes are defined by a network of steep-walled ravines including Sayles Canyon, Compton Canyon, and Hells Hole Canyon.

The presence of named watering points like Earl Spring and the expansive Horse Pasture Draw suggests a history of livestock management in this high-altitude terrain. Notable summits including Lookout Mountain and Grassy Mountain provide prominent landmarks overlooking the numerous deep cuts such as Wild Cow Canyon and Edd Canyon, illustrating the high-desert erosion patterns characteristic of the Western Slope.
