About this map

Oil Spring Mountain dominates the northeastern corner of this 2013 survey, where the high-altitude terrain of the Piceance Basin meets the complex drainage systems of Garfield and Rio Blanco counties. The landscape is defined by a dense network of canyons, including Bear Canyon, Cow Canyon, and the distinct segments of West Timber Canyon and East Timber Canyon. These deep incisions in the plateau guide the flow of the East Evacuation Creek and its many tributaries, such as Missouri Creek.

Transport through this isolated region is limited to a few rugged routes like Baxter Pass Rd and W Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the drainages. The map reveals the intricate water resources essential to this environment, notably Red Cedar Spring and the headwaters of South Fork Texas Creek. This detailed topographical record is a primary resource for understanding the hydrography and land divisions within the Public Land Survey System, including T004S R103W.
