About this map

Kester School serves as a lone institutional landmark in this expansive Garfield County landscape, situated near the headwaters of the S Fork Pass Cr. The map reveals a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems and ranching infrastructure, most notably the Buffalo Hill Reservoir nestled between the various forks of Woody Cr. To the north, the prominent Piney Buttes overlook the winding course of Crooked Cr and its eastern tributary.

Transportation through this high plains region is primarily facilitated by Haxby Rd, which connects the scattered watersheds of Camp Cr and Pass Cr. The topography is defined by the divides between these drainages, illustrating the vital importance of water management for local agriculture in the early 21st century. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range system, showing the surveyed boundaries of T21N R39E and T22N R40E.
