About this map

Wolford Mountain Reservoir dominates the drainage patterns of this Grand County landscape, where water management is etched into the high country through a network of ditches and impoundments. The map documents several established ranching properties, including Ritschard Ranch, Parsons Ranch, and Ingram Ranch, which follow the course of Muddy Cr and its tributaries. These family-named landmarks illustrate the historical reliance on creek-side settlements for livestock and land tenure in the region.

Smaller catchments like Heini Reservoir, McElroy Reservoir, and Antelope Reservoir are scattered across the terrain, serving as vital resources below the peaks of Wolford Mountain and Little Wolford Mountain. The presence of the McMahon Ditch and natural features such as Alkali Slough further highlight the varied hydrology of the area, while the intersection of Us-40 and Us-134 provides the primary transit corridors through this rural ranching district.
