About this map

Hooker Mountain serves as a central landmark in this high-altitude landscape of Routt County, where complex water management defines the terrain. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the Yampa River, which is fed by an intricate network of irrigation systems including the Shelton Ditch, Walker Ditch, and Marshall-Roberts Ditch. These diversions illustrate the area's agricultural reliance on the river's flow during the early 21st century.

To the north and east, the landscape is marked by numerous reservoirs and steep drainages. Significant water features such as Morgan Cr Reservoir Number 1 and several Shaefermeyer Reservoirs are connected by creeks like Morgan Cr and Shaefermeyer Cr. Local history and geography are preserved through family-named landmarks such as Jimmy Dunn Gulch and Morgan Creek Falls, while the grid of county roads, including Co RD 80, provides the primary modern access through the mountain passes and along the river valley.
