2016 Map of LO 7 Hill

About this map

LO 7 Hill rises as a prominent landmark in this section of Rio Blanco County, where the high-altitude terrain is defined by the striking ridge of the Grand Hogback. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by water management and ranching history, evidenced by the Highland Ditch and Miller Cr Ditch that traverse the northern slopes. These irrigation features speak to the human effort required to sustain life and agriculture in this environment. To the south, the boundary of the White River National Forest marks a transition into protected woodlands, while the seasonal flow of Sheep Cr and its tributaries carve deep recesses like Joe Bush Gulch and Timber Gulch. The isolated settlement of Summer Camp Gulch reflects the area's seasonal use, likely tied to livestock grazing or resource management in the early 21st century.
