About this map

The Yampa River flows westward through the northern reaches of this Colorado landscape, passing the small settlement of Milner and the nearby location of McGregor. This area of Routt County is defined by a network of drainage systems including Trout Cr and Elk Cr that feed into the river valley. To the south, the topography transitions into the expansive Twentymile Park, a notable lowland feature flanked by numerous gulches like Coal View Gulch and Little Butcherknife Gulch.

The map reveals a transition between the river-bottom lands and the upland grazing or mining territories. Local transit is captured through rural routes such as Co RD 402 and Co RD 179, which connect the river corridor to the southern reaches of Fish Cr and Foidel Cr. The layout of these roads and the placement of Milner Spring Cr illustrate how the natural hydrology has historically dictated movement and settlement patterns throughout the quadrangle.
