About this map

The San Juan National Forest defines much of this Colorado landscape, where the high terrain of Serviceberry Mtn and the Winter Hills drops into a complex system of drainages. Water management is a central theme of the geography, visible in the sophisticated network of the Echo Ditch and Echo Waste Water Ditch, which channel resources across the northern sections toward Echo Canyon Reservoir.

Lower elevations are marked by the broad passage of the Rio Blanco and its numerous side canyons, such as Deadman Canyon and Jeff Minium Canyon. Local land use is reflected in the transition from the rugged slopes of Turkey Mtn and Eightmile Mesa to the more structured road networks like Shenandoah Dr and Echo Creek Dr near the reservoir. This modern survey captures a landscape where irrigation infrastructure and natural river systems coexist within a protected national forest boundary.
