About this map

Hayden serves as the focal point for this Routt County landscape, where the Yampa River flows westward through a valley defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems. The map documents the vital role of water management in this high-altitude ranching and agricultural region, showcasing various diversion and storage features including Cary Ditch, Shelton Ditch, and the Walker Ditch.

Further south, the terrain rises into a series of drainages and upland reservoirs. Family-named landmarks such as the John C Temple Reservoir Number 1 and John C Temple Reservoir Number 2 emphasize the legacy of local landownership. The topographic detail follows numerous draws and valleys like Hubberson Gulch and Watering Trough Gulch, illustrating the transition from the river bottomlands to the steeper, rugged elevations of the surrounding territory.
