2000 Map of Eagle Hill

About this map

The Canadian River meanders through this Jackson County landscape, defining a valley bordered by the Sand Hills and the rising slopes of the Medicine Bow Range. This 2000 revision, based on earlier surveys, captures a transition from high-desert drainage to protected timberlands within the Routt National Forest and Medicine Bow State Forest. The map documents a landscape of working lands, from the North Mc Callum Oil Field and scattered prospects to established western outposts like the Dowell Homestead and The Horse Ranch. Water management is central to the area's utility, marked by a network of ditches and the Pumping Sta along the river. Numerous draws, including Buffmeyer Draw and Ballinger Draw, feed into the primary river system, illustrating the complex hydrology of this high-altitude basin.
