2012 Map of Rumford

About this map

Rumford serves as the lone settlement node in this wide-open stretch of Fall River County, where the high plains transition through Plains Valley toward the expansive Hat Creek Flat. The landscape is defined by a dendritic network of ephemeral drainage, with Plum Creek and Piney Creek carving subtle paths through the terrain. To the south, Horse Creek and Hat Creek converge near the local road network, including Co HWY-71f. The arrangement of these watercourses suggests a land primarily shaped by seasonal flow and ranching utility, with the clustered infrastructure at Rumford marking the primary human footprint in an otherwise vast grassland environment.
