About this map

Collbran sits at the southern edge of this West Slope landscape, serving as a gateway to the high plateau country defined by the Grand Mesa National Forest and White River National Forest. The map detail reveals a complex network of high-altitude water management, notably the series of reservoirs including Battlement Number 1 Reservoir, Battlement Number 2 Reservoir, and Battlement Number 4 Reservoir situated along the northern ridge near the Garfield County line.

Drainage systems like Buzzard Cr and Plateau Cr carve through the terrain, flanking distinctive landforms such as The Peninsula. For genealogists and local historians, the Clover Cem is a notable landmark located near the junction of Buzzard Cr and Salt Cr. The transition from the valley floor to the peaks of Haystack Mtn and Sugarloaf Mtn is marked by a network of forest roads and trails, including the Battlement trail system, which trace the steep relief of Smalley Gulch and Clover Gulch.
