About this map

Gilman Mountain and the distinctive Round Butte anchor this high-plains landscape along the Colorado-Wyoming border. The 2010 topography reveals a remote ranching or field-research environment defined by a network of seasonal watercourses like Spottlewood Creek, Rawhide Creek, and Sand Creek. The settlement pattern is characterized by scattered outposts including Soapstone Camp, Brannigan Camp, and a series of stations along the central drainage such as Upper Jack Springs Camp and Lower Jack Springs Camp.

Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by the Mountain Supply Number 1 Dam and the adjacent Mountain Supply Reservoir Number 1. Further south, the Round Butte Reservoir sits near the Rawhide Flats. The sparse road network, consisting of N County Rd 15 and N County Rd 9, underscores the isolation of these borderlands, while features like Wire Draw and the Rawhide Strip suggest long-established grazing or property boundaries.
