About this map

The town of Eagle and the neighboring community of Gypsum anchor this 2019 survey, situated along the corridor created by the Eagle River. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems essential to the region's agricultural history, including the Hockett Ditch, Wilkinson Ditch, and Squire and Hammond Ditch. These man-made watercourses traverse the terrain near Red Canyon and Neilson Gulch, illustrating the long-standing effort to manage water in this high-elevation environment.

Notable landmarks such as Schoolhouse Rock and Greenhorn Mtn provide vertical context to the river valley, while the Eagle County Justice Center marks the modern civic heart of the area. For those researching local history, the Sunset View Cem and numerous named gulches like Mayer Gulch and Road Gulch offer specific points of reference. The map also detail numerous Bureau of Land Management routes, such as BLM Route 8510E, which branch off into the surrounding peaks and basins.
