2016 Map of Dunckley

About this map

The Williams Fork Mountains dominate this high-country landscape in the Routt National Forest, where water management and ranching history are deeply etched into the terrain. The small settlement of Dunckley serves as a central point in a region defined by extensive irrigation works, including the Williams-Park Ditch and the E Side Number 2 Ditch. These systems, along with family-named water features like the James Marion Yoast Reservoir and Sellers Crowell Reservoir, illustrate the historical necessity of water diversion for high-altitude meadows like Williams Park and Dubeau Meadow. A network of thoroughfares, from the winding Routt City Rd to the W Fish Creek ATV Trail, provides access across the drainage basins of Sage Cr and Grassy Cr, highlighting a landscape that remains a vital intersection of natural resources and agricultural heritage.
