2016 Map of Oak Creek

About this map

Oak Creek serves as the central hub of this 2016 survey, where residential streets like N Grant Ave and Willow Bend meet the local commercial corridor. The surrounding landscape is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation and water management, visible in the many storage facilities such as Chambers Reservoir, Henderson Reservoir, and Oak Creek Reservoir. These features, along with the Oak-Dale Ditch and Rossi-Highline Ditch, trace the essential relationship between the mountainous terrain and the valley's water needs. To the north and west, the smaller settlements of Haybro and Keystone sit along the drainage of Oak Creek, while the Yampa River flows through the southern reaches of the quadrangle. High points like Thorpe Mtn provide a backdrop to the Oak Creek Cemetery and the Old Stage Trail, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to early transportation and community life in Routt County.
