2011 Map of Signal Butte

About this map

Turkey Rock and the prominent Signal Butte anchor this corner of the Colorado landscape, where ranching and outdoor recreation define the land use. The map reveals a network of high-country properties including Turkey Rock Ranch, Lost Valley Ranch, and Rideout Ranch, many of which are accessed by winding forest routes like Manchester Creek Rd. Near the eastern edge, the industrial history of the region is marked by the Snowflake Mine, situated in the heights above the Rule Creek drainage. Water management is evident in the southeast with the Rule Creek Dam creating Ute Lake. The terrain is deeply dissected by a series of drainages, most notably North Fork Davis Gulch and South Fork Davis Gulch, which feed into the larger waterway of West Creek.
