About this map

The White River winds through the northwestern corner of this landscape, passing the eastern edge of Rangely. The terrain is defined by a dense network of erosional features, including Gillam Draw, Big Canyon, and Red Hill Canyon, which carve through the high plateaus of Rio Blanco County. These drainage patterns illustrate the complex topography leading toward the prominent Cathedral Bluffs in the south.

Evidence of water management in this arid environment appears at Basin Reservoir, while transportation is facilitated by corridors like Co RD 122 and Shale DR. The map captures the significant elevation changes between the White River valley and high points like Coal Oil Rim and Big Ridge, providing a clear view of the natural landmarks that have historically guided movement through this portion of Colorado.
