About this map

The Yampa River flows through the southern portion of this Routt County landscape, anchoring a network of agricultural waterworks designed for high-altitude ranching and farming. Key irrigation features include the Gibralter Ditch, Shelton Ditch, Walker Ditch, and Marshall-Roberts-Ditch, which divert water to the surrounding fields. Near the riverbank, the Hayden Pioneer Cem stands as a primary genealogical landmark for the region's early settlers.

Rising above the valley, Hooker Mtn serves as a central topographic anchor, surrounded by dramatic drainage systems like Jimmy Dunn Gulch and Mat Gulch. The northern terrain is characterized by managed water resources, including Morgan Cr Reservoir Number 1, Shaefermeyer Reservoir Number 1, and Shaefermeyer Reservoir Number 4. Notable natural water features, such as Morgan Creek Falls and the Dry Fork Elkhead Cr, illustrate the complex drainage patterns feeding into the Yampa valley.
