About this map

The Grand Hogback ridge dominates the central portion of this Rio Blanco County landscape, serving as a prominent geological spine that separates the western drainage of Sheep Creek from the eastern slopes. In the lower reaches of the map, the northern boundary of the White River National Forest meets the valley floor, where human modification of the water table is evident through the presence of the Highland Ditch and Miller Cr Ditch.

Elevated terrain features such as LO 7 Hill and Red Canyon define the northeastern topography, while the southern reaches are marked by a series of drainages including Timber Gulch and Summer Camp Gulch. This 2013 survey illustrates the modern management of this high-altitude environment, from the controlled waters of Wilson Reservoir to the primitive access provided by Hay Flat Trl and Gooseberry Aspen Road.
