2011 Map of Hagen Gap

About this map

Burgess Ranch and a network of water management features define this high plains landscape in Garfield County. The terrain is deeply etched by numerous coulees, such as Broadus Coulee and Arnold Coulee, which channel seasonal runoff into Woody Creek and its tributary, the East Fork Woody Creek. The area's ranching heritage is evident through a extensive system of reservoirs and dams, including the Mullory Reservoir, Gumbo Reservoir, and Cottonwood Reservoir. These features, alongside the prominent Hagen Gap and Lambs Butte, illustrate the careful management of water in an arid environment. Transportation through the region relies on local corridors like Burgess Rd and Van Norman Rd, connecting remote sites across the basin.
