2013 Map of Long Point

About this map

Roan Creek serves as the primary drainage through this corner of Garfield County, defining a landscape of high ridges and intricate irrigation networks. The map details a complex system of water management essential to the high desert, including the HVS and S Ditch, Hobo Ditch, and the Cr and Newman Ditch, which redirect water along the valley floors. High points such as Kimball Mountain and the prominent Chimney Rock overlook several deep gulches, including Hopple Gulch and Gibler Gulch. This 2013 survey provides a clear view of the ranching and resource infrastructure in the region, tracing the intersection of Kimball Creek and Dry Fork Roan Creek against the steep backdrop of Cow Ridge.
