About this map

Cathedral Bluffs dominate the high-elevation terrain of this 2013 survey, where the boundary between Rio Blanco and Garfield counties cuts through a complex network of canyons and ridges. The landscape is defined by its verticality, with the namesake Razorback Ridge and Skinner Ridge rising between deep drainages. This area is characterized by seasonal water systems, including the headwaters of Clear Creek, Carr Creek, and the multi-forked Soldier Creek system.

Evidence of local habitation and navigation in this steep environment is sparse but significant, centered on Atencio Cabin on the western edge and high-altitude tracks like Little Burma Rd. The presence of The Lake and several named peaks like Brush Mountain highlight the geographic isolation of the region, which remains primarily defined by its physical geography rather than dense infrastructure or large-scale settlement.
