About this map

The Williams Mountains and the drainage of the East Fork Williams Fork define this area of Colorado at the turn of the millennium. The landscape is a mix of high-altitude water management and industrial activity within the Routt National Forest. Numerous small-scale water storage sites, including Dillabaugh Reservoir, Detwiller Reservoir, and Maud Wise Reservoir, are scattered throughout the terrain, reflecting the critical role of water diversion in this region.

Industrial land use is prominently marked by a significant Strip Mine and various smaller Mines and Gravel Pits located between Dowden Gulch and Hayden Gulch. The division of the forest into the Bears Ears Ranger District and Yampa Ranger District reveals the administrative structure of the public land during this era of 1999–2000 imagery. This survey provides a clear look at the intersection of resource extraction and alpine forest management.
