About this map

Figure Four Spring serves as a focal point in this high-elevation landscape along the boundary of Rio Blanco and Garfield Counties. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and named gulches that reveal the complex hydrology of the region. Distinctive landmarks such as Red Point stand out among the topographical contours, while Yankee Gulch and Little Dry Gulch illustrate the seasonal nature of water flow in the area.

A network of watercourses including Black Sulphur Cr, Eureka Cr, and Mud Springs Cr underscores the importance of every spring and creek for the local ecosystem. The limited infrastructure, primarily represented by Co RD 69, highlights the isolation and primary use of this land for grazing or natural resource management in the early 21st century. This survey provides a clear view of the area's undeveloped character, tracing the paths of Clear Cr and other forks that feed into the larger watershed.
