Burning Mountain and the Grand Hogback Coal Ridge dominate the landscape of Garfield County in this mid-century survey. The settlement of New Castle occupies the northern bank of the Colorado River, positioned at the junction where Main Elk Creek and East Elk Creek emerge from the northern uplands. This area reveals an intricate water management system essential for mountain agriculture, featuring numerous named canals like the Western Valley Ditch and Tompkins Ditch.
