About this map

Eagle serves as the focal point of this 2010 topographic survey, situated at the confluence of the Eagle River and Brush Creek. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems essential to the region's agricultural history, including the Squire and Hammond Ditch, Hockett Ditch, and Hollingsworth Ditch. These man-made watercourses follow the natural contours of the valley, branching off from the river to support local land use between the steep elevations of Greenhorn Mountain and the distinctively colored Red Canyon.

Evidence of industrial and natural landmarks is scattered throughout the surrounding gulches. The Eagle Mine is located south of the town center near Hockett Gulch, while northern reaches of the map feature Noecker Reservoir and the prominent Fivemile Rock. This map documents a modern snapshot of Eagle County, showing the intersection of long-standing water rights and geographic landmarks like Neilson Gulch and Skillman Gulch.
