2016 Map of Razorback Ridge

About this map

Razorback Ridge and the Cathedral Bluffs dominate this high-elevation corner of the Piceance Basin, where the Garfield and Rio Blanco county lines meet. The landscape is defined by a dense network of watercourses branching from central divides, including Soldier Creek and its many forks, as well as the drainage of Brush Creek to the south. Small upland features like The Lake provide rare stationary water in a region characterized by steep vertical relief and deeply incised canyons such as Black Sulphur Creek. Remote access is maintained through a system of backcountry routes like Little Burma Rd and several county roads that follow the natural contours of Skinner Ridge and Brush Mountain, illustrating the historical reliance on ridge-line travel in this complex terrain.
