About this map

The rugged divide between Jackson and Larimer counties is defined by the high peaks of the Medicine Bow Mountains, where the Rawah Wilderness meets the Colorado State Forest. This landscape is shaped by a complex network of high-altitude irrigation, with the Medicine Bow-Canadian Ditch and Michigan Ditch traversing steep slopes to manage water flow toward the Canadian River.

Lower elevations reveal a history of high-country ranching and resource extraction, anchored by established properties like the Dodge Ranch, Mace Ranch, and Rogerson Ranch. Evidence of localized industry is visible at the Marr Mine on the southern slopes of Johnny Moore Mountain, while the presence of the Landing Field near the Michigan River suggests the area's importance for transport and forest management at the turn of the millennium.
