About this map

The confluence of the Colorado River and Fraser River anchors this study of the mountain valley, showing a landscape defined by water management and high-altitude topography. The town of Granby serves as the primary hub, surrounded by a complex network of irrigation and storage features including the Bunte Highline Ditch, Peterson Ditch, and several numbered reservoirs such as F W Linke Reservoir Number 2. These systems illustrate the long-standing agricultural and municipal water demands of Grand County.

To the south, the boundary of the Arapaho National Forest marks a transition into the foothills, where landmarks like Mt Chauncey and Shadow Mountain rise above the valley floor. Transportation and utility are represented by the Granby-Grand County Airport and a dense web of county roads like Co RD 57 and Co RD 60, while the eastern portion reveals the settlement of Elkdale and the quiet grounds of the Granby Cem on Granby Mesa.
