About this map

Little Chalk Butte rises as the central landmark in this Garfield County landscape, overlooking a network of deep drainage channels and water sources. The topography is defined by significant coulees that suggest a history of resource extraction and local nomenclature, such as Coal Mine Coulee and the uniquely named Frozen Dog Coulee. Water is a critical element in this arid environment, represented by the persistent flows of Uall Cr and its eastern branch, E Uall Cr, along with the localized Mud Springs.

Remote roads provide the primary access to this section of the Big Dry Creek drainage area, including Uall Rd and Sutherland Rd. The map detail captures the intersection of natural features and ranching-era infrastructure, where Crow Rock Cr and Ash Cr cut through the high plains. The inclusion of Little Choke Butte Rd in the southeastern corner highlights the sparse but vital transportation network connecting these isolated landforms.
