2016 Map of Rye

About this map

Rye and Colorado City sit at the eastern edge of the San Isabel National Forest, where the high plains meet the rising foothills of the Wet Mountains. This landscape is defined by a sophisticated network of water management, illustrated by the Middle Muddy Cr Standard Ditch and numerous seasonal watercourses like Greenhorn Cr and Little Graneros Cr. The map details the transition from established ranching lands, such as the Jackson Ranch Muddy Creek Farm Fire Acc, to modern residential layouts in Colorado City. Genealogists will find interest in the proximity of Mount Olivet Cem and Brookside Cem near the town center of Rye, while recreational history is preserved in routes like the Greenhorn Trail and the naming of Cuerna Verde Park. Prominent landmarks like Table Mtn and Huckleberry Hills provide a sense of the rugged local relief.
