About this map

White River valley life and high-desert terrain define this western Colorado landscape. The town of Meeker serves as the focal point, situated at the confluence of several irrigation systems including the Meeker Ditch, Highland Ditch, and Pease Ditch. These waterways reflect the agricultural foundations of Powell Park and the surrounding flats. To the south, the dramatic geologic rise of the Grand Hogback looms over the river valley.

Local heritage is anchored by the Highland Cem near the town center and the more isolated Strawberry Creek Cem to the northwest. The map details an intricate network of gulches and canyons, such as Threemile Gulch and Lion Canyon, alongside modern recreational additions like the Mtn Bike Flow Course and Pinyon Trail. The presence of Meeker Coulter Field and the Rio Blanco County Justice Center marks the area's role as a regional hub.
