2010 Map of Jack Springs

About this map

Douglas Mountain and the high-altitude landscape of northwest Colorado define this territory, where isolated outposts like Warrick Ranch and Basset Cabin mark the human presence. This 2010 survey illustrates a region shaped by complex drainage systems, including the long paths of Conway Draw and Rye Grass Draw that eventually meet Vermillion Creek. The namesake Jack Springs and Jack Springs Draw sit near the center of the sheet, providing vital water sources in an arid terrain. A network of primitive routes, including County Rd 56 and County Rd 34, navigate the basin floor, linking the remote Zenobia Basin to the wider county. The map serves as a record of rangeland infrastructure and the persistent legacy of early ranching families in this corner of the state.
