2016 Map of Pagoda

About this map

The settlement of Pagoda serves as a quiet center for this mountainous region of Northwest Colorado, situated along the Williams Fork river valley near the boundary of Moffat and Routt Counties. This 2016 survey highlights a landscape defined by ranching and water management, where numerous irrigation systems like Peck Ditch, Highland Ditch, and Sullivan Ditch distribute water across high-altitude terrain. Notable family-linked history is preserved at the Pagoda Cem and Buckner-Hart Cem, which sit amidst a series of gulches including Daton Gulch and Rock Gulch. To the south, the terrain climbs toward the Routt National Forest and Round Mountain, while the northern portion is dominated by the Williams Fork Mountains. This map is particularly useful for understanding the complex network of mountain creeks like Indian Run and Beaver Creek that feed into the reservoirs and larger river systems.
