About this map

Granby serves as the focal point of this 2016 survey, situated where the Fraser River flows toward its confluence with the Colorado River. The landscape is a complex network of water management and mountain terrain, featuring the Windy Gap Reservoir to the northwest and a series of agricultural and storage impoundments like the Linke Reservoir and F W Linke Reservoir Number 2. These water features, alongside the Bunte Highline Ditch and Peterson Ditch, reflect the region's long-standing reliance on irrigation and water rights.

To the south and west, the terrain rises sharply into the Arapaho National Forest, dominated by peaks such as Mt Chauncey and Ninemile Mtn. The map provides detailed local context for genealogists and historians, noting the location of the Granby Cem on Granby Mesa and the outlying settlement of Elkdale to the east. The intersection of transportation and recreation is evident in the presence of the Granby-Grand County Airport and various named draws and creeks, including De Berard Draw and Strawberry Cr.
