About this map

Oak Creek serves as the primary hub for this portion of Routt County, situated along the winding path of Co RD 131. The settlement pattern reflects the area's agricultural and resource-based history, with smaller locations like Haybro and Keystone positioned north of the main town. The landscape is defined by its complex water management systems, including the Oak Dale Ditch, Highline Ditch, and Homestead Ditch, which redirect water across the varied terrain toward larger bodies like the Stagecoach Reservoir and Henderson Reservoir.

Thorpe Mountain rises as a prominent landmark in the central portion of the map, overlooking a network of creeks such as Oak Cr and Trout Cr. Researchers can find several established reservoirs and small lakes, including Bear Lake and Chambers Reservoir, which speak to the region's irrigation needs. Historical travel is evidenced by the Old Stage Trl, while local genealogy is supported by the presence of the Oak Creek Cem just south of the town center near Willow Bnd.
