About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep path through this Colorado landscape, passing through the dramatic Gore Canyon and the small settlement of Radium. This 2013 survey illustrates the rugged interface between Grand and Eagle counties, where the river serves as both a geographic anchor and a primary corridor for travel and recreation. The rural character of the region is evident in the presence of Rancho Del Rio and the isolated Sheephorn Cem, located near the junction of Trough Rd and Sheephorn Creek Rd.

South of the river, the vast White River National Forest dominates the terrain, punctuated by drainages like Garden Gulch and McPhee Gulch. The map records a network of high-country landmarks including Hartman Divide and Little Cottonwood Reservoir, alongside smaller outposts such as Azure and Red Gorge. These features highlight the area's history of remote ranching, forestry, and its enduring role as a gateway for river-based transit.
