About this map

The town of Kremmling serves as a central hub at the confluence of several major waterways in Grand County, Colorado. In the early 1980s, the community's local infrastructure was anchored by the West Grand High Sch, a local Airport, and the Fairground. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic descent of the Colorado River as it enters Gore Canyon, where the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad line follows the narrow river corridor through the southwestern portion of the map.

Strategic water management is evident throughout the terrain, from the City Reservoir and Kids Pond to the network of irrigation and drainage features like Alkali Slough and the Loback Ditch Road. Higher elevations such as Wolford Mountain and San Toy Mountain provide a rugged backdrop to the river valley, while landmarks like Inspiration Point offer perspectives on the winding path of the river as it meets with Muddy Creek and the Blue River.
