About this map

Troublesome Creek and its many tributaries form the primary drainage system through this high-altitude ranching and mining landscape. The map highlights an extensive water management network essential to the high mountain valleys, including Ennis Ditch, Kurtz Ditch, Missouri Ditch, and Pickering Ditch. These man-made features underscore the historical importance of water rights and irrigation in Grand County.

Strategic geographic points like Gunsight Pass and Antelope Pass provide access through the complex terrain of The Gunsight and Little Wolford Mountain. At the northern edge, the Hartman Mine serves as a reminder of the area's mineral prospects. The landscape is interconnected by a series of county routes, such as County Rd 2 and County Hwy 25, which follow the natural contours of gulches like Hay Gulch and Round Gulch.
