About this map

Froehlich Butte and a series of prominent high points define this reach of Garfield County, where the plains are deeply incised by a network of drainage coulees. The landscape is marked by the presence of ranching operations such as Hill Ranch and Dutton Ranch, connected by isolated routes like Calf Creek Rd and Old Dutton Rd. These family-named landmarks and outposts provide a sparse but essential human framework within the drainage basin of Calf Creek.

Distinctive geological formations like the Devils Kitchen and Barney Pinnacle sit alongside numerous named buttes, including McTwigan Butte, Buffalo Scott Butte, and Castle Butte. The prevalence of named watercourses like Morrison Coulee and Hensleigh Coulee illustrates how the movement of water has carved this terrain, creating a complex system of ridges and valleys that dictate the placement of local roads and remote springs like McWilliams Springs.
