2016 Map of East Evacuation Creek

About this map

East Evacuation Creek defines the drainage of this high plateau country along the Rio Blanco and Garfield county line. The landscape is carved by a dense network of steep drainages, including Chain Canyon, Bear Canyon, and Cow Canyon, illustrating the erosional patterns characteristic of this part of Western Colorado. In the northeast corner, Oil Spring Mtn stands as a prominent landmark near Red Cedar Spring, while several minor tributaries like Little Bluejay Creek and Missouri Creek feed the larger creek system. Human presence is limited to the winding corridors of Co RD 25 and W Creek Rd, showing how travel in this period remained dictated by the narrow valley floors and canyon bottoms.
