About this map

Piceance Creek and its complex network of tributaries define this high-altitude landscape in Rio Blanco County. The drainage patterns revealed here, including Fourteenmile Creek and Dry Thirteenmile Creek, illustrate how water has carved the terrain into distinctive features like No Name Ridge and Fourteenmile Ridge. Local ranching heritage is evident through family-named sites such as Robinson Ranch, Jones Ranch, and Cox Ranch, which are connected by remote thoroughfares like County RD-5 and 14 Creek RD.

Navigation through this area historically relied on prominent landmarks and high ground, seen in labels like Bald Knob and Chimney Rock. Notable ridgelines such as Goat Trail Ridge, Trail Ridge, and Rough Ridge suggest the difficulty of traverse outside of the established gulches. The survey provides a detailed look at the many named canyons and gulches, from Charley Earl Gulch to Sprague Gulch, that feed into the larger creek systems in this part of western Colorado.
