2022 Map of Junction Butte

About this map

The Colorado River winds through this high-altitude landscape in Grand County, defining a valley where the town of Kremmling and the settlement of Troublesome are established. A complex network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Ennis Ditch, Barger Ditch, and Pheney Lateral Ditch, underscores the importance of water management in this agricultural and ranching corridor. Prominent landmarks such as Junction Butte, Red Mtn, and Lawson Ridge overlook the river valley, while McElroy Airfield serves the transportation needs of this mountain community. The presence of Sulphur Spring and several reservoirs like Taussig Reservoir Number 1 and Moore Reservoir highlight the intersection of natural hydrology and man-made water storage in the region. This 2022 survey details the modern layout of local roads, including Jackson Ave and Central Ave, and the surrounding terrain that transitions from river bottom to high ridges.
