About this map

Piceance Cr and Fourteenmile Cr dictate the drainage patterns of this high-elevation landscape in Rio Blanco County. The area is defined by a series of prominent ridges, including No Name Ridge, Trail Ridge, and Goat Trail Ridge, which separate deeply incised canyons and gulches. Named features such as Charley Earl Gulch, Hyberger Gulch, and Jones Gulch suggest a history of early land use or family holdings in this part of the Piceance Basin.

Transportation through this terrain is limited to historic routes like Co Rd 3 and Fourteen Creek Rd, which follow the natural contours of the valley floors. Landmark elevations like Bald Knob provide orientation among the numerous side-canyons, including Devils Canyon and Turkey Canyon. The map details the complex topography of the region as it was documented in 2016, showing the persistent influence of the creek systems on the local geography.
