About this map

Hot Sulphur Springs serves as the focal point of this Grand County map, situated where the Colorado River carves through the dramatic gap of Byers Canyon. The settlement's civic importance is noted by the Grand County Judicial Center, while local history can be traced through the Hot Sulphur Springs Cem nearby. The landscape is defined by its water management and diverse terrain, featuring irrigation infrastructure like the Dennis Ditch and Wood Number 2 Ditch alongside mountain peaks such as Mt Bross and Mt Chauncey.

A significant portion of the southern territory is occupied by the Arapaho National Forest, where high-altitude geography includes Big Meadows and the timbered heights of Blue Ridge. To the east, the terrain rises toward Cottonwood Pass and Windy Gap, punctuating a region defined by its vital waterways including Sheriff Creek and Beaver Creek. The map documents a sophisticated network of county roads and forest routes that provide access to high reservoirs like Huntington Reservoir and Cottonwood Reservoir.
