2019 Map of Lodore School

About this map

Browns Park in northwestern Colorado serves as a distinct low-elevation basin where the Green River meanders through a series of fertile alluvial flats known as bottoms. These features, including Flynn Bottom, Warren Bottom, and Grimes Bottom, highlight the historic reliance on river-adjacent lands for agriculture and settlement in this arid landscape. The presence of the Lodore School near the river's bend suggests a small but established community center serving the surrounding ranching country. The terrain rises sharply to the south toward Douglas Mountain, cut by numerous drainage features such as Yellow Jacket Draw and Goodman Gulch. Local springs like Hoy Spring and Sterling Spring provide essential water sources away from the main river channel, while the Hoy Dike Trail and Two Bar Ranch Loop Trail indicate a network of movement through the valley floor.
