About this map

Michigan Cr and Tarryall Cr define the water-rich landscape of this Park County region, which is characterized by an extensive network of irrigation canals and drainage ditches. The presence of Sessions Ditch, Whitten Ditch, and Randell Ditch speaks to the importance of water management in the shadows of the Continental Mountains and Fremont Knoll.

Modern residential development appears along the northern reaches, particularly around Michigan Hill, where named thoroughfares like Boreas Cir and Kenosha Dr mark growing communities. To the east, the Pike National Forest boundary provides a contrast to the private lands and gulches. The central terrain is dominated by several water bodies, including the Milligan Lakes, which sit near the intersection of Packer Gulch and Pettie Ditch. Local history and genealogy researchers can trace land use through these named drainage ways and early access roads like Snyder Creek Rd.
