2011 Map of Dry Creek

About this map

Agricultural and extractive activity defines this high-altitude landscape in Delta County, where complex irrigation systems support the local economy. The terrain transitions from Cedar Mesa and Oak Mesa down through deep drainages like Stingley Gulch and Grassy Gulch. Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the extensive network of ditches and canals such as the Overland Canal, Cedar Mesa Ditch, and Cow Creek Ditch. These systems divert water from Leroux Creek and Currant Creek to support operations like the Seven X Ranch.
