About this map

Hells Kitchen and its surrounding drainage networks define this high-altitude landscape on the western slope of the Colorado Rockies in 2011. The area is characterized by an extensive system of water management features, including the Eagle Ditch, Sanburg Ditch, and Hoosier Ditch, which redirect snowmelt from high-country sources like Carson Lake and Flowing Park Reservoir. This complex web of dams and reservoirs, such as Porter Reservoir Number One and Doughspoon Reservoir, highlights the critical role of water storage in the region's ranching or industrial history.

Mineral extraction sites are scattered across the terrain, including the Tomahawk Mine, Fairview Mine, and Rollins Mine. These operations are linked by a rugged road network featuring the E Pipeline Rd, W Pipeline Rd, and specifically named access routes like 1910 Dr. The map also captures the varied topography from the depths of Beebe Gulch to the seasonal flows of Kannah Creek and Cottonwood Creek.
