2022 Map of Parshall

About this map

Parshall sits at the vital junction of the Colorado River and the Williams Fork, a landscape defined by its complex irrigation network and significant water storage. The southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the expansive Williams Fork Reservoir, which captures the flow of Kinney Cr and Johnson Gulch. This modern survey reveals a highly managed alpine drainage system where historical water rights are represented by features like the Big Lake Ditch, Pheney Lateral Ditch, and Musgrave Ditch. To the north, the terrain rises toward Mt Bross, while the river narrows into the steep walls of Byers Canyon to the east. The map provides a precise record of rural Colorado infrastructure, documenting numerous county roads such as Co RD 36 and Co RD 214 that connect isolated reservoirs like Musgrave Reservoir and Rock Cr Reservoir across the high-altitude terrain.
