About this map

The Grand Hogback forms the dominant geologic spine of this landscape, creating a dramatic series of ridges and drainages in Rio Blanco County. This 2022 survey captures a high-elevation western Colorado environment where water management is central to the land's utility, evidenced by the Highland Ditch and Miller Cr Ditch that contour along the hillsides. These artificial waterways supplement natural flows like Sheep Cr and Flag Cr, which carve through the varied terrain.

A significant portion of the southeastern quadrant is preserved within the White River National Forest, showing the transition from open range to protected woodland. The area is marked by distinctive landforms such as Lo 7 Hill and Red Canyon, accessible via a network of rural routes including Co RD 13 and County Road 38 Trl. Family-named or local landmarks like Joe Bush Gulch and Timber Gulch provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracking historical land use and early settlement patterns.
