2013 Map of Gillam Draw

About this map

The town of Rangely sits at the edge of this Rio Blanco County landscape, where human engineering meets a terrain defined by deep erosional features and high ridges. The northern reaches are dominated by the White River and the significant waters of Kenney Reservoir, a focal point for the region's water management. South of the river, the land rises sharply toward the Cathedral Bluffs and Big Ridge, carved by an intricate network of drainages including Little Gillam Draw and Rocky Ford Draw. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern configuration of local infrastructure, specifically the path of Co-64 and residential streets like E Main St and Shale St, while tracking the numerous canyons and gulches like Yanks Gulch and Big Canyon that dictate the movement of both water and roads through this high-desert environment.
