About this map

The town of Hayden and the prominence of Mount Harris anchor this topographic survey of the Yampa River valley in the early 2010s. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water management, including the Walker Ditch, Shelton Ditch, and Gibraltar Ditch, which support the agricultural and industrial needs of the region. Near the river, the Hayden Station infrastructure is visible through specialized features like the Hayden Plant Evaporation Pond and Ashponds Hayden Station.

South of the river, the terrain rises into the high country of the Elkhead Mountains and Williams Fork Mountains, featuring Hillberry Mountain and the deep incision of Sage Creek Canyon. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Hayden Cemetery west of the main settlement, while aviation history is represented by the Yampa Valley Airport. The map also captures numerous named reservoirs such as Walrod Reservoir and Nofstger Reservoir, illustrating the critical role of water storage in this part of Routt County.
