About this map

The Yampa River serves as the central artery for this portion of Routt County, carving a path through a landscape defined by deep gulches and high plains. The settlement of Milner sits at a geographic crossroads near the confluence of Trout Cr and the river, while the smaller community of McGregor lies just to the west. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent ranching and agricultural patterns of the region, where numerous county roads like Co RD 52 and Co RD 44 follow the contours of the drainage systems.

South of the river valley, the terrain opens into the expansive Twentymile Park, a distinctive basin drained by Fish Cr and Foidel Cr. The intricate network of local labels including Butcherknife Gulch, Coal View Gulch, and McCrosky Gulch highlights a topography shaped by both water erosion and the historical search for mineral resources. The map captures the juxtaposition of these drainage features against the structured boundaries of t6n r87w and t6n r86w.
