2013 Map of Segar Mountain

About this map

Segar Mountain and Joe Bush Mountain dominate the high terrain of this Rio Blanco County landscape, where the drainage systems of the Dry Fork Piceance Creek have carved a dense network of gulches and canyons. This 2013 survey reveals a territory primarily defined by ranching and resource management, anchored by the Oldland Cow Camp in the central valley. Water is the critical factor for survival here, as evidenced by the distribution of remote water sources like Post Gulch Spring, Pitcairn Reservoir, and Timber Gulch Spring Number 1. The map captures a detailed topography of naming traditions, with landmarks such as Puckett Gulch, Kendall Gulch, and Joe Bush Gulch likely reflecting the family histories of early settlers and land users in the Piceance Basin.
