About this map

Gould City sits at the convergence of several deep drainage systems in this Garfield County landscape. The area is defined by the branching waterways of Deadman Creek and Meadow Creek, each split into northern and southern forks. This hydrological pattern has dictated the local transportation network, with roads such as Lower Deadman Rd and W Meadow Creek Rd following the narrow valley floors between steep rises.

Named landforms provide a window into local nomenclature and geography, from the prominent Wild Horse Hill to numerous specialized ravines like Blachly Gulch, Ben Day Gulch, and Smith Gulch. These features, along with isolated water sources like Coyote Spring, illustrate a terrain where early settlement and grazing routes likely followed the available water and natural corridors through the hills.
