About this map

Neponset Reservoir and the surrounding high-elevation drainage basins of Rich County define this landscape. The map details an intricate network of seasonal and perennial water features, including the Saleratus Creek, Woodruff Cr, and the human-engineered Co-Op Ditch. This area is characterized by significant topographic depressions and canyons such as Home Canyon, Meachum Canyon, and Five Spring Canyon, which channel runoff toward the expansive Big Meadow.

Evidence of historical ranching operations is found in the naming of local infrastructure, specifically Home Ranch Rd and Main Ranch Way. These routes connect dispersed water sources like Eagle Springs and Halfway Spring across the varied terrain of Ashton Hollow and Harris Hollow. The prominence of Red Hill and Blue Grass Pond provides clear landmarks in a region largely dedicated to watershed management and open-range land use.
