About this map

The Williams Fork Mountains dominate this high-country landscape, where a sophisticated network of water management features supports the high desert environment. The presence of numerous engineered water bodies, such as Sedimentation Pond HG-1 Reservoir and its companion reservoirs Sedimentation Pond HG-3 Reservoir through Sedimentation Pond HG-5 Reservoir, points to significant land-use or industrial activity requiring sediment control along the slopes of Hayden Gulch.

Southern portions of the map transition into the protected timberlands of the Routt National Forest, marked by the distinct topography of the Beaver Flat Tops. From Moody Lake in the north to the Knife Edge Reservoir in the south, the map documents a terrain defined by deep drainages like Temple Gulch and Millers Gulch that feed the East Fork Williams Fork. Local access is maintained through a system of county roads, including Co RD 53 and Co RD 29, which navigate the winding canyons and high ridges of this Routt County region.
