About this map

Greasewood Gulch defines the drainage pattern of this high-elevation landscape in Rio Blanco County, where steep terrain is carved by a dense network of gulches and canyons. The hydrology of the area is centered on Piceance Cr and its tributaries, including Dry Fork Piceance Cr. Local water sources are marked by isolated features such as Dark Canyon Spring and Little Corral Gulch Spring, which historically provided critical water in this arid upland environment.

The map reveals a landscape primarily accessed by primitive routes like Co RD 76 and Co RD 3, connecting the deep incisions of Dark Canyon and Lee Gulch. The grid of the Public Land Survey System, including townships t1s r96w and t2s r97w, overlay a topography marked by family-named landmarks like Gardenhire Gulch and Collins Gulch, indicating the historical footprint of ranching or early land claims in the region.
