2022 Map of Razorback Ridge

About this map

Razorback Ridge and the dramatic escarpment of Cathedral Bluffs dominate this Colorado landscape, marking the transition between the high plateaus of Rio Blanco Co and Garfield Co. The map reveals a complex network of drainage systems, notably the trifurcation of Soldier Creek into its Right Fork, Middle Fork, and Left Fork branches. These watercourses have carved deep canyons into the terrain, which rises toward the southern boundary at Brush Mtn and Skinner Ridge. A handful of high-altitude water features like The Lake and Lake Cr provide rare points of perennial water in this arid environment. The transportation network is sparse, consisting primarily of backcountry routes such as Co RD 103 and Co HWY 267, reflecting the area's primary use for resource management and grazing rather than dense settlement.
