About this map

The Grand Hogback dominates the central topography of this western Colorado landscape, creating a dramatic ridgeline that separates the drainage systems of Sheep Cr and Flag Cr. The western slopes are carved by deep ravines including Segar Gulch, Joe Bush Gulch, and Timber Gulch, while the east is marked by the eponymous Lo 7 Hill and the rugged Red Canyon.

Agricultural water management is evident in the northern reaches, where the Highland Ditch and Miller-Er-Ditch follow the natural contours to divert water for local use. The southeastern corner of the quadrangle transitions into the protected lands of the White River National Forest, accessed by the Gooseberry Aspen Road. This survey documents a sparsely settled region defined by its complex geology and essential water infrastructure.
