About this map

The Rabbit Ears Range dominates this portion of Grand County, forming a high-altitude divide where numerous drainages begin their descent. This 2011 survey illustrates the complex water network of the area, centered around the winding course of Willow Creek, which collects tributaries such as Pass Creek, Bronco Creek, and Kauffman Creek. Strategic mountain crossings are documented at Willow Creek Pass and Illinois Pass, marking the historical transit routes through this formidable terrain.

Evidence of seasonal habitation and backcountry recreation is found at the Road Camp and established sites like the Trail Creek Campground and Denver Creek Campground. In the southwestern corner, the Little King Ranch Reservoir indicates managed water resources near the headwaters of Buffalo Creek. The map provides a precise look at the forest road system, including CO Hwy 4 and various forest service routes that provide access to the slopes of Radial Mountain and Little Gravel Mountain.
