About this map

Radium sits at the heart of this landscape, positioned along a sweeping bend of the Colorado River where it carves through the Red Gorge. This 2019 survey documents the rugged intersection of the White River National Forest and the boundary between Eagle and Grand counties. The terrain is defined by deep drainages and high points like the Hartman Divide, with water sources such as Dry Gulch Spring and the Little Cottonwood Reservoir providing critical points of reference in the high country.

Local history and genealogy interests are centered around the Sheephorn Cem, located near the confluence of Sheephorn Cr and the river. A network of primitive and secondary routes, including the Watt Woodward Trail and Cottonwood Rd, provide access through the complex topography of McPhee Gulch and High Trail Gulch, reflecting the enduring paths used by ranchers and outdoorsmen in this part of the Rockies.
