About this map

Gould City sits at a geographic crossroads in Garfield County, positioned where drainage systems diverge through a complex network of steep canyons and high ridges. The landscape is defined by the branching tributaries of Deadman Cr, including N Deadman Cr and S Deadman Cr, which have carved deep paths into the plateau. To the south, the topography is dominated by the Meadow Cr watershed and distinctive features like Wild Horse Hill, which rises above the surrounding gulches.

Local navigation and history are tied to the named drainages that likely dictated early land use and settlement patterns. Many of these features bear family-associated names such as Ben Day Gulch, Heaton Gulch, and Blachly Gulch. The presence of Coyote Spring and several seasonal watercourses underscore the importance of water management in this high-country environment, where roads like Lower Deadman Rd and S Deadman Rd follow the natural contours of the stream beds.
