2019 Map of Hayden Gulch

About this map

The Williams Fork Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape in Routt County, where complex drainage systems and water management define the terrain. The area is characterized by numerous small-scale water storage sites, including Dillabaugh Reservoir, Detwiller Reservoir, and Wyman Reservoir, which suggest the historic and ongoing importance of water rights for ranching and forest management. The southern reaches are protected by the Routt National Forest, covering the prominent Beaver Flat Tops and the headwaters of the E Fork Williams Fork. This 2019 survey documents a network of named canyons and gulches, such as Watering Trough Gulch and Hubberson Gulch, alongside more modern infrastructure like Co RD 53 and Co RD 29, illustrating how the land has been subdivided for both public use and private utility.
