2011 Map of Kirby Ranch

About this map

Kirby Ranch stands as the primary named settlement in this remote portion of Garfield County, where the landscape is defined by a dendritic network of intermittent drainages. The topography is shaped by the descent of Second Creek and its tributary, West Fork Second Creek, alongside the meandering paths of Long Branch Creek and Lone Tree Creek. Ranching infrastructure is central to the area's development, evidenced by water management features like the Claribell Number 2 Dam and the Uthaug Livestock Dam. Transport is limited to a sparse grid of gravel and dirt routes, including Uthaug Rd, which connects the scattered livestock operations across the local coulees and divides.
