About this map

El Jebel and the surrounding Roaring Fork Valley landscape are defined by a complex network of water management and residential development. Situated along the Roaring Fork River and the Fryingpan River junction, the map illustrates the critical role of irrigation and storage in this high-elevation terrain, featuring infrastructure like the Home Supply Ditch, McNulty Reservoir, and Spring Park Reservoir.

Modern residential patterns are evident in the dense street grids of El Jebel, contrasted with the specialized land use of the Mount Sopris Tree Nursery. To the east, the topography rises sharply toward Basalt Mountain, where the land transitions from settled valley floors to the drainage basins of Blue Creek and Cattle Creek. Smaller named locations like Leon and Hooks mark the historical footprint of development along the primary river corridors.
