About this map

The town of Hayden serves as the focal point for this 2019 survey, situated along the northern bank of the Yampa River in Routt County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems essential to the local agricultural economy, including the Shelton Ditch, Walker Ditch, and Gary Ditch. These man-made waterways divert river flow toward the south and east, supporting ranching and farming operations across the high-elevation terrain.

Further south, the geography becomes more dissected as the land rises into numerous drainage channels. Significant landmarks in this region include the John C Temple Reservoir Number 2, Greasewood Flat Reservoir, and Emrich Reservoir, which capture runoff from named draws like Hubberson Gulch and Temple Gulch. The Yampa HQ trail provides a modern recreational or administrative path through the river valley, while a grid of county roads, such as Co RD 65 and Co RD 59, connects the remote homesteads and reservoir sites to the central hub at Hayden.
