2019 Map of Eagle Hill

About this map

The Medicine Bow Mountains define the northeastern corner of this landscape, where the high elevations of the Roosevelt National Forest meet the Routt National Forest. To the west, the North Sand Hills contrast with the complex network of irrigation infrastructure below, including the Medicine Bow Ditch and the Canadian River-Stillwater Ditch. This intricate system of ditches and draws, such as Buffmeyer Draw and Sudduth Draw, illustrates the heavy reliance on water management for ranching and land use in this part of Larimer and Jackson counties. The Canadian River winds through the southern reaches, supported by feeder streams like Saint Francis Cr and Sherman Cr. Land surveyors and local historians can trace the intersection of historical township boundaries and rugged terrain features like Eagle Hill and the Mendenhall Trail.
