1994 Map of Dry Creek Basin

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

Olathe Reservoir No 1 and Olathe Reservoir No 2 anchor this high-altitude drainage basin where water management is central to the landscape. Located in the Montrose area, the terrain is defined by the convergence of the West Fork Dry Creek and East Fork Dry Creek, which carve deep canyons as they flow toward the north. The presence of the West Canal, a Siphon, and a Flume illustrates the complex engineering required to move water across the Shavano Valley. Movement through this territory is facilitated by established routes like the Temple Park Highway and Transfer Road, while the southern reaches are marked by the steep descents into Linscott Canyon and Lindsay Canyon. The network of four-wheel-drive trails winding through the Basin suggests a landscape used primarily for ranching, resource access, and irrigation maintenance rather than dense residential settlement.
